After a spell of cool weather, the temperature suddenly jumped to 26°C. Stego (my 39-year-old pet stumpy-tailed lizard) decided to come out of hibernation. So I gave him a soak in the laundry trough in shallow luke-warm water (he said he felt sticky, thirsty and dry) and then hand-fed him a meal of ripe banana. After that he basked for a few hours in sunshine that beamed into his Mitchell lizard house, located by our front door. No doubt the wild lizards and snakes will be also be up and about. I'll have to keep my eyes open while walking Major along the river.
Yesterday, while rinsing my hands in the bathroom sink, a desert tree frog poked his little face up through the plug hole. How delightful!
