Kevin's slalom attempt - Take two - the trickier bit

Video doesn't play anymore on my laptop
This was on the water taxi to the start of the walk :)

This is Kevin, a blue-tongue lizard (this particular species commonly known as 'bob-tail lizard, sleepy lizard, stumpy lizard, shingle-back lizard, two-headed lizard, pine-cone lizard, and boggi), doing the rounds on my daughter's verandah, when he is not sun-baking. He is quite tame but does not like to be disturbed. Blue-tongue lizards make nice pets, although, they don't like to, and should not, be handled. They are not venomous but may bite when picked up and will not let go when latched onto your fingers. This can leave a bruise or worse, a nasty infection. Blue-tongue lizards are handy in the backyard and garden, keep snails and other pests under control and can live for many years. Their main predators are cats and cars. Dogs may be scared off when they start hissing or show their blue tongue. Baby blue-tongues may become fodder for kookaburras and other larger birds.

Kevin is about 45cm long!
