After some much needed rain, we've headed down to a new spot a few times over the last week and managed to find some nice animals.
Juvenile Dugite, Pseudonaja affinis affinis.
Western tiger snake, Notechis scutatus
Finally, a Western blue-tongued skink, Tiliqua occipitalis
And a few habitat shots of the area
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks guys.
It certainly is an unusual name - unfortunately I have no idea of its origin.Coluber Constrictor wrote:"Dugite" is a funny name. Any ideas about the etymology of that word?
