Today we went to the reptile society's show. it was really good. Australia has the 1st 11 most venomous ranking snakes in the world, theres something to be proud of. Our local scary one is the red bellied black snake which you see in the bush every now and again, through not if it sees you first, or squashed on the road. There was a guy giving a talk and showing various reptiles he had a red bellied black snake he said while they are venous they wont attack unless you try to pick them up or attack them.
My favourite was a shingle back lizard, I'd like one of those and they are quite laid back. I read a book once about the aboriginals of central Australia called the lizard eaters because thats what they mainly ate so I was imagining eating the lizards. They most amazing was the biggest monitor lizard in Australia which is called the perentie which I have never seen, it can grow to over 6 feet. The one at the show had a big trailer as its cage.
After the show we for a drive up the mountain and looked round an old grave yard there was a snake skin on the grass I bought it home and scared my daughter as she thought it came from our yard.
