Looking at a cute junior Eastern Blue-tongue Lizard (Tiliqua scincoides scincoides) who gave me a heart attack this afternoon when I was gardening. (Of course, I thought it was a snake!) This young lizard was having a pleasant sunbath amid the giant kalanchoe leaves. It was quite a warm afternoon for a bask in the sun--especially after the coolish morning we had.

Wikipedia says "Herpetology is the branch of zoology concerned with the study of amphibians (including frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and gymnophiona) and reptiles (including snakes, lizards, amphisbaenids, turtles, terrapins, tortoises, crocodilians, and the tuataras)."
