I don't often see these fabulous huge reptiles on the property, but I think they must see me fairly often. This gorgeous fella was a couple of metres long and they can move!
I wouldn't want to tangle with one, but they aren't really agressive, unless you have some tasty meat they really want, then it's wisest to just say 'yeah, sure sir' and give it up. Lucky I'm vegetarian 🤣
They never scare me anyway, just make me smile, grab my camera and follow!
Isn't he magnificent. We see quite a few when on bush walks but they do tend to shy away rather than approach us. Could be different though if we resembled a tree
Great shot! Coming from here up north it is hard to know what snakes and what lizards I should be afraid of. We only have one venomous snake here (I try to get some shots of them every year around this time when they come out of hibernation) and no lizards.
@helstor yeah some that look really scary are nothing, and some small unassuming-looking things are really deadly 😊 these guys are really not an issue. A neighbour of mine has fed fish to one of his when fishing on his property and caused himself some issues - he simply must give the first several fish he catches to the goanna as he trained it to expect this.
All the animals on my property are really quite wild. What this means is, they stay right away from humans and flee well before you can get close.
Some become accustomed to me being around, but I would never feed them and set up a situation where I am considered a food source 🤣
