Found this fucker in my back yard. Will it grow up and eat me or is it harmless?

Only tiny now about 8 inches long...

looks like a legless lizard, if you can see ears and a non-forked tongue

Yeah looks like that, I still squealed like a little girl when the pingpingpingping went for me.

Courageous little fellow.

[RICEY]

Wait they supposed to be in Esperance he's a long way from home?

[mehow2g]

fuck i would of shat haha!

The head is very Lizard like and Ive never seen a snake with that pattern around Perth or WA!

That's a lizard, it will bite you if you piss him off, he maybe someone's pet

I found one of them in my shed while moving some gear. Thought it was a dead snake. I was showing my 4yr old daughter the dead snake I found and it moved... I flinched like a bitch!
Daughter calmly says, " its not dead silly"

end csb.

I squeal like a girl at any reptile, gecko's in shed boxes are my mortal enemy, may as well be a death adder breathing fire holding machine guns for all I care !
Oh yeah they'll learn how to hold machine guns, then we're all fucked !
Fuck reptiles and Fuck carrots !

Burtons legless lizard.

[ovaxitd]

if you trap it and want it gone you can drop off at the reptile park on southwest highway, pretty cool find.

[RICEY]

I went back out to have another look and it was nowhere to be seen.

Now I spend the night awake in bed wondering where it is.

Watching me, waiting for the right moment to strike.

probably masturbating over you as you sleep

probably masturbating over you as you sleep

How do you masturbate with no arms?

Wait I just thought of a way involving my mouth. Definitely no sleep for me tonight.

They have a penis but they dont masturbate.

Seems legit.

[DRKWRX]

sucks to be him... not quite a snake and not quite a lizard!

[RICEY]

A snard?

[tinto]

Ahh yes, being a professional scientician and marine biologist, I can identify that as the savage penii-diver snake from Papua New Guinea.
Sleep wearing a condom unless you want an involuntary reptilian catheter inserted tonight. Those beers you had at the Sunday (or Monday as it happens) session are an appealing and warm source of hydration. Scales that good lookin don't come easy.

[RICEY]

We know you like snakes, so we put a snake in your snake.

[Dagon]

That's definitely a legless lizard, but I have to say it's one of the biggest I've ever seen. Grew up in Esperance and saw lots of these, never this big though.

Then again, there were a lot more tiger snakes to keep their population down...

[ReaperSS]

Thats cool caught these before. have to be carefull with stuff like this. I grabbed a what i thought was a legless lizard and turned out to be baby dugite. lucky i dodnt get bitten, did you kill it ?

[Dagon]

The flip side is that you shouldn't really handle them without protection anyway - the bacteria in their mouth is guaranteed infection if they do bite you.

[ReaperSS]

Got bitten on the leg by this Stimmy up bells rapids lookout last year, got infected. Lucky of all snakes it was only python.
