Is that the ocean over the fence? by gilbertwood

Is that the ocean over the fence?

Just look what a sunny days brings out to the beach! This is a Lace Monitor or Goanna as commonly known. It is the 2nd largest of the monitors in Australia. This one was just over a metre (3 ft) long.
Now I'll have to confess, he is not a wild one, but a pet belonging to a girl who brought him to the beach for a play :) I certainly had fun playing with him!
Lovely capture. Fav

Well, there's something you don't see every day! I would never have guessed this was someone's pet!! He's a lucky lizard, getting to go to the beach to play.

I love how he is heaving himself up to have a good view.

I got all excited there for a second Denise until you fessed up and said it was someone's pet. Great shot anyway.

Would love to go to the beach. Our beach weekend got cancelled due to illness.

Wow, what a great creature.

Does one keep this large pet in the house, does it sleep on the sofa?
April 30th, 2015  
Wow! I would have jumped out of my skin. You must be very calm and composed, Denise.

@ladymagpie I'll see what I can find today :) You've set a challenge for my ark now!
@mbemis he was extremely docile and very friendly - nothing to be afraid of :)
@hellie The girl has a heated indoor enclosure for him, but he curls up on her lap every night! She also has on outdoor enclosure, but again he roams free if she is in the yard too - and of course on nice days she takes him to the beach or the gardens :)
