Location suppressed as private residence (not mine) but in the vicinity of Mt Rogers.
Rescued the lizard from the back shed when it was being cleared. It had caught a cockroach and was not letting it go! I couldn't persuade it to leave my glove so had to slip my glove off. It stayed on the glove till it had subdued and eaten the cockroach. Then licked its lips and slowly wandered off. Date found Sunday 23 March 2025.

There were quite a lot of them outside the shed too. Some looked larger than this one.
