Lizzy's Lizzards have been lucky enough to gain ten new blotched blue-tongued lizards. Many thanks to Ursula who can no longer keep them. They are much appreciated and will be well looked after. They will be out meeting people at Lizzy's Lizzards events from this weekend although Kate got a bit of a preview this afternoon. Come and meet the new lizards and help us to choose ten new lizardy names.

Lizzy's Lizzards had a great morning at the Mulgrave Farmers Market. The lizards loved hiding in amongst the long grass. We also welcomed Haydn and James who came along as helpers for the first time. #lizards, #frogs, #snakes, #pythons, #turtles, #reptiles, #animals, #kidsentertainment

This is Guava who is a type of blue-tongued lizard known as a Shingleback lizard or skink. His large, rough scales resemble the overlapping tiles found on the roofs of houses. These were once known as Shingle roofs and hence the name Shingleback lizard or Shingleback skink. Although not found in Melbourne they can be found in nearby areas such as the Grampians, also areas of SA, WA and QLD as shown by the distribution map. Other names given to this type of lizard are Stumpy-tailed lizard, Bob-tailed skink, Two-headed lizard, Pine-cone lizard and Sleepy lizard. You can meet our Shingle-back lizards Guava and Pineapple (from WA) at any of our public events or by booking a birthday party or community event. They'd love to meet you.

Lizzy's Lizzards have been lucky enough to acquire 2 frogs and a Turtle named Findley from Caulfield Grammar School in Glen Iris.

Lizzy's Lizzards visited the Learning Sanctuary in Malvern East on Saturday for their Family Fun Day.

Lizzy's Lizzards had the pleasure of visiting many libraries as well as school holiday programs and shopping centres these holidays. Here are some images.

Ring tail Possums Jan Cindy and Marsha were recently released at Fernglade on Menzies- A guesthouse in Emerald run by Lachlan and Annie Thomson. Thanks to them these released possums can find freedom in a safe and eautiful environment.

With spring comes orphaned baby possums. We are caring for 3 at the moment. They are on 5 feeds a day - milk, banana, apple and sweet corn.

Last weekend Lizzy's Lizzards visited 3 birthday parties - Zac in Chelsea, Dominique in Upwey and Eleanor in Berwick.

Last Thursday Lizzy's Lizzards visited the Year 7 classes at Braybrook College for their Environment Day. The students learnt about wildlife in their local area including frogs, birds, lizards, snakes and possums and what they could do to help maintain their habitats and ensure the animals remain healthy and safe. These included having a birdbath and planting native species in their yards to attract birds and other animals, always putting rubbish in the bin so that it didn't end up in waterways and controlling pets such as dogs and cats so that they aren't free to roam and attack local wildlife. Other presentations on the day included CERES Environmental Centre, Fisheries Dept and City West Water. It was a very enjoyable day and students became aware of things they could do to make a difference in their local environment.

Next week Lizzy's Lizzards will be visiting Coldstream Preschool, Casey Aged Care and attending several birthday parties on the weekend!

The residents at Regis enjoyed their afternoon with the animals.
