[The InnFORCEr]

Legless lizard?

[Darren]

[brokendown gunfighter]

its possible that it is a legless lizard


oops beaten to the post1

Ok It looked like the legless lizard but could be also a brown tree snake. I flung it with a rake into the over grown building site across the street. I feel much better now, but sure to wake with night terrors tonight lol

Tiger or dugite most likely. Stay away either way! Haha
Also - welcome to Australia. Can't wait until you see a huntsman!

Already seen a huntsman and I freaked out being the size of a tennis ball. My wife handles these things better than me, she got rid of the huntsman. As for the snake/lizard it did have greenish pencil lines running down the length of it's whole body, my wife checked it out and agrees it must have been a legless lizard maybe lol

At the risk of getting flamed, huntsmen should not be killed as they serve the very useful purpose of killing other insects. They even chase cats out of the garden .....

Skinks (aka legless lizards) on the other hand ....... there are some 370 different types in Australia and are akin to the planet earth - ie harmless (hhgttg)

[RumourMonger]

Could have been Hansie.

He's been known to be a bit of a snake in the grass!

It's that time of year when they are waking up from hibernation, i've got a 5 acre property in Yallingup and this last week we've seen 2 x 1mt Dugites and a Tiger snake, they are not usually aggressive and move on eventually. If they do hang around I call the local reptile catcher in.

I'm not too keen on the words "usually" and "eventually" there Chopper! And as for 1mt..........!!! Eeeeeeeeeeek!

Call your council, they'll put you in touch with the local ranger. He'll come take the snake and release it in the wild somewhere.

what is a "shurb"?

The female variety of Shrubbery.

or - alternatively, what you have to bring this bloke!
