A wonderful Lace Monitor just sat there by the foot of a tree when I walked by. He didn’t move at all but just hugged the warmth out of the tree while soaking up the last sunrays of the day. Look how chilled out he is. For better viewing See it in ” View larger”. Related work: /

The Lace Monitor Varanus varius is one of Australias largest lizards, with some individuals known to grow as large as 2.5m in length. The largest, the Perentie, is also a goanna. This image was taken in the Paroo-Darling National Park in western NSW. This species enjoys carrion (ie dead animals) as its meals, so inside that mouth can be lots of germs! Apart from the obvious of having your stomach ripped open by their claws or being bitten by a germ infested very powerful mouth, their tail is also deadly, with goannas using this to strike at humans as the goanna walks past. My advice, enjoy this photo as your ‘close-up’ experience. Please do not try this at home…............

My Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club mate and I were both stalking this very fine specimen of Varanus varius (Lace Monitor or Goanna) in the Crowdy Bay National Park when it decided to climb a tree for safety and flattened itself against the trunk while keeping a verrrrry watchful eye on me. A made a few photographs of this four foot (1.25m)Australian lizard getting closer each time and ended up with this one made from only a few feet (3m) away. It was in medium shade so I used the pop-up flash at full power to throw light into the shadows under its body. It also helped with the catch light in its eye. Note: / Thanks to Steve Bullock of the Australian Wildlife Group I have learned that my Monitor is a female. Fuji S9600: f/3.9 @ 1/60sec, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Amphibian & Reptile collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more lizardy critters. UPDATE: / 10-0-08 / This handsome Aussie lizard has been featured in the Australian Wildlife Group Enjoy!

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Lace Goanna (Varanus varius) Warrumbungle National Park, New South Wales. The Lace Monitor, or Lace Goanna, (Varanus varius), is a member of the monitor lizard family, commonly known as goannas in Australia. This is a derivation of ‘iguana’ which the early settlers applied (mistakenly) to the large lizards they saw. / The Lace Monitors are the most common goanna in Australia and are found, usually near the coast, from Cape York, down the East coast, round to South Australia. They are the second-largest monitor in Australia after the Perentie. They can be as long as 2.1 metres with a head and body length of up to 77 cm. The tail is long and slender and about 1.5 times the length of the head and body. / Their patterning consists of white spots, blotches or bands on their body. Their diet typically consists of insects, reptiles, small mammals, birds and birds’ eggs. It’s these last items that put them at odds with homeowners: the goanna, like the dingo, is very partial to chickens and chicken eggs, and his powerful limbs and claws can make short work of a chicken wire enclosure. / The aboriginals valued goanna fat as a medicine and Cornelius Joseph Marconi started marketing his “Goanna Liniment” and “Goanna Salve” in 1910, incorporating goanna fat, eucalyptus oil and the ingredients of a charlatan’s herbal snake-bite cure. It rapidly became a popular cure-all used for aching limbs through to cleaning guns! Modern environmental concerns have overtaken the original recipe and no goannas have been used in its manufacture for many years. Thanks to modern labelling laws the recipe is no longer totally secret – it is now made out of oil of wintergreen, camphor, eucalyptus oil, pine oil, peppermint, menthol, and some secret herbs and spices!.
