In this weeks #flashbackfriday I dug put this photo of this poor fellow, a lace monitor who was caught up in tree clearing in central Queensland. After a few ticks removed and a look over to check for injuries this fellow was sent on his way in a nearby area that wasn’t being cleared! #wickedwildlife #goanna #faunaspotter #monitorlizards #monitorlizardsofinstagram #australianlizards #australianreptiles #australianwildlife #wildliferescue https://www.instagram.com/p/B4B2PqjBGiM/?igshid=95zgw31vlwij

Just the right size Nutella for Rupert. He's a bit of a health nut though so he didn't treat himself 😛 (nor would I feed him it 😛) #beardeddragon #beardie #australianlizards #beardiesofinstagram #nutella
