Goannas

Note that goannas are also lizards, but because of their different size we list them separately here. Sometimes goannas find their way to our place. There are different species, a few of which are shown below.

Goanna climbing a tree; they climb to escape from danger, but also to rob bird nests

Snakes

We see mostly black snakes at our place; two different species are shown below in photos. One we found another type in our chookpen, see third photo below. This may have been a brown snake, but its identification is not confirmed.
