Shingleback Lizard (12/12)

Squamata: Scincidae

Tiliqua rugosa  

I came across this Shingleback in the granite country of Mount Koorong.

A day later, in Mallee country, a Shingleback Lizard I was photographing from quite close up put on a defensive display with open mouth and big blue tongue.

This one, on the other hand, just marched straight past me within centimetres of the camera lens.
