In our Backyard

[rodentrancher]

Found this little guy in our backyard. Dave has lived here all his life and has never seen one before. Photo colouring not the best, but the light colour is very light tan with black stripes. It is called a Broad Banded Sand Swimmer, and usually live in arid, spinifex country.

Yeah very cute little guy. We definately had one up on Mark, he's never seen one before either, even with all his wanderings around here in the Riverland.
