Caught this Big Boy in our Yard Today (September, 2012)

This creature was hanging out near our window today.  The kids spotted him and started freaking out.  Cody got some gloves and caught him.  He wasn't happy about being caught and he let us know by trying to bite Cody's hand off…good thing he had thick work gloves on.  We were told this is a blue-tounged lizard.  He was about 15 inches long (not including the tail) and had a stubby little tail (I don't know if it had fallen off previously or if that's how they are).  He didn't seem to be too jumpy or afraid. When Cody put him back in the garden, he didn't run off.

 Caught him.

 Good thing Cody had thick work gloves on.
