Cheakie ( I was able to confirm by his throat flank spot constellation he is indeed Cheakie ) and he still has his original issue tail too
), graced us with a long visit on the top of lounge this afternoon .
He's a very big boy now ! ( I estimate about 13" inches TTN ).
Was enjoying the warm air blowing from our aircon .
And he immediately captured Fluffy's attention for quite awhile and they were head nodding at each other for over an hour before Fluffy lost interest in him.
Stirred up Cleo too who spotting him instantly in the highest position and proceeded to arm wave and do the slow head nods at him.
The bluetongues paid zero attention to him as did Caesar.
Headnodding at Fluffy , bold as brass , not the least bit concerned about my wife walking past .
Then the sun started shining in through the window and he lost interest in us, and Fluffy and Cleo.
Half an hr of basking and he was gone , only to return at dinner time ( people cooking stake smells are irresistible to my pet and resident wild water skinks .
Tried to tempt him with some mealworm pupae , beetles and lavae but I think he's been hunting down house roaches and rogue crickets, maybe monstering the two resident G.Dubia geckos to nick insects from them while they are "tenderising them" ( yes they are back , at least two as they churp at each from different ends of the house and respond to each other's calls.
