The reptiles in the Valley are certainly enjoying the warm summer days, and a number of bobtails and skinks have been sighted in the Sanctuary’s bushland. Everyone enjoys looking out for scaley friends throughout the summer months.
Just last weekend, volunteer Kenneth spied this beautiful Gould’s (or sand) monitor (Varanus gouldii) in the equipment shed on the shelf! Ken, who is highly experienced with reptiles of all kinds, carefully moved the goanna to the safety of the forest, as we were concerned he may get hot when the shed was locked at the end of the day. Once in the forest, he gave Ken a stare then promptly clambered up a very tall jarrah tree to safety – such a special find!
