Fat and healthy looking family. Mainly eats plant material (particularly likes clover and their flowers). Living under the verandah? On a number of occasions I have seen female Cunningham's chase away large brown snakes - even grabbing them by the tail.

Just one guy in different spots- hope has a family. Also a guy living under and in another little shed about 25m away.

Not sure where he lives but every year for last few years we have seen him on the verandah.
