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

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.

Jerry doing his impressions:

1. Baguette
2. Croissant

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.

Someone has removed Jerry's photo from the Pets of AAO and SoE board! I can only assume someone liked looking at Jerry so much that they couldn't help themselves and stole the picture so that they could look at it all the time. :thinking_face:

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.

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.

The toy is sitting on a flat stone inside a lizard enclosure, and the head of a blue tongue skink is poking out from under the stone, looking at the toy.

A bit of enrichment for the lizard. If he wants those blueberries then he needs to work out how to get them out of the ball.

He has done it before, https://youtu.be/MytegkCEQBo

Sitting on the sofa, heard a rustling noise, looked right, and saw this guy staring at me. I think he's hungry.
