One of my more successful 3D printing projects: Jerry's platforms and ramps. The scaly sausage does seem to like them.

Jerry would like to remind you all that tomorrow, the 14th of August, is World Lizard Day. How are you planning to celebrate?

I'm pretty sure that Jerry is watching the TV. He's come to the cool end of his enclosure and is just sitting there with his head raised. Intrigued by the sound and movement, I guess.

Damn, there was a funnier way to caption this.

Someone told the wildlife that it is now officially Spring so the skinks near our offices are out basking in the sun. Nice to see them again.

After the gorges we dropped in to the Ku-Ring-Gai Wildflower Garden. Highlight for me was definitely seeing this young goanna while walking one of the short tracks.

The reptiles inside the visitor centre were pretty cool too.

I saw the tiniest babiest skink today. I did not have a banana for scale, but he was about the size of your thumbnail, if you had a thumbnail the size of a tiniest babiest skink.

A vary tiny lizard. It's not clear that he's tiny, but trust me. Tiny.

You could do worse than setting aside 2 1/4 hours to watch Clint Laidlaw run through the phylogeny of *all* the lizards.

So far the "Pets of Australian Astronomical Optics and School of Engineering" photo board in the staff lounge is 100% lizards. Small sample size, admittedly.

The photos that aren't of an archery target are of the archery lizard. This water skink was keeping an eye on things from under the club house.

One of the neighbourhood water skinks on the footpath in front of our house this morning, trying to soak up some warmth in a gap between rain showers.

The lizard is wearing his ramp as a hat this morning.

Why? I have no idea.

Now that I'm back in Australia Shinkansen posting will reduce, but #LizardPosting can resume.

Nice to see Jerry again after 3 1/2 weeks. Even when he had his face in his food bowl he still manages to eye me suspiciously.

He spotted the blueberry on top of his hollow log almost immediately, but the one on his platform is still there for now.

It's Jerry's birthday! 5 years old today. His birthday present was 3 big blueberries. He got handed one, but had to find the other two.

I decided to give Jerry some enrichment with the Hol-ee Roller dog toy. The smaller holes are just the right size to wedge blueberries in, making Jerry work a bit for his mid-week treat.
