This pic is not very good,but this was a very large snake,around 2.5m long at least.As soon as it saw us it headed off into the long grass.It was by far the largest snake i have ever seen on this property,we have been going to the property for over 35yrs.King Brown?

Sorry,

The brown wriggly rope like thing is a serpent, and the hoppy thing in hand is definitely a frog. They have at least one thing in common - most serpents like to eat frogs.....

The lizard with the blue tongue is not a blue tongue lizard.

However it is a kissing cousin Tiliqua Rugosa commonly known as Bobtail, Stumpy Tail or shingleback. Very common and easy to keep, mainly vegetarians

The frog is a Salmon striped frog.. it burrows underground or under logs and rocks to avoid drought.. :)

The Snake looked like a Brown Snake to me, and I think that was a pretty good photo all things considered, not as though you would want to get up close for a shot. Not sure what type the other pics are. Just a frog and a lizard. :)
