A really great record. Notice the obvious ear opening - so clearly not a snake. This specialised legless lizard catches small skinks and geckos - hence the snout shaped like a long-nosed set of pliers.

Thanks; he gave me a shock when I spotted him next to me while gardening, but quickly saw the head and scales were all wrong for a snake. This is the second one we’ve seen in 8 years on this property .
