Field Notes

Notes:

This monitor was in our front yard (Sunshine Coast, Queensland) this afternoon. The quality of this series of pics is a bit poor - all shots were taken through a screened window. Still cool though!

Thanks Nopayahnah! These ones are about 4 feet long, some get a bit bigger.

It is cool and the last photo with its tongue out especially. How big are they?
