Goanna

There be dragons ambling through my garden.
They eat slugs and snails, so are welcome here.

Eats slugs and snails? I want a goanna!

For a minute I thought it was a real goanna -

scary dudes - and BIG!

One raided a picnic once - he made off with a roast chicken and we were terrified!

This is an even-handed, balanced blog, isn't it? So let's hear an interview on behalf of the slugs and snails. They might well disagree.

He looks a bit like you mosaiced him!

Gorgeous, in a prehistoric, dinosaur way. Is it pettable? What did Bryn say...well, not say, exactly, but you know what I mean.

We, in the UK, only have the stone one we brought back from Oz.

What a wonderful visitor. Sadly, I have lost the population of hedgehogs who used to mop up the slugs and snails, but I do have a badger family. (Are these facts connected, I wonder?)

Isabelle said...

Please send me one too. Alternatively I could send you LOTS of slugs and snails for his dinner.

Eek.
But, as long as he doesn't eat toes, too...then yes...i think.
