The Land of Dixie I now live in... much farther south!-yay Melbourne I'm planning to move to... closer into the city	We have Orb weavers in the states too! I had a bunch on the back of my house before I sold it, I liked to watch them build their webs and eat their dinners, better than TV. Edited by beckagator, Aug 22 2010, 03:03:58 PM.

In that case, feel free to carry on in gleeful ignorance. I learned at Toronga zoo that: Huntsmans think we taste bad and do not want to walk on us as they taste through their legs. That they usually are trying to get away from us when they run. Funnelweb spiders will die within a few minutes of entering direct sunlight. You are unlikely to see one outside during the day.

AmbroseChick Aug 19 2010, 06:11:53 PM This lovely blue tongue lizard was in my kitchen this afternoon - frantic moments ensued with hubby saving the day. That photo is zoomed - I didn't get anywhere near it. I guess this was my official "Welcome to Australia" You can click on the photo to see it in its full glory shudder Indy, I didn't see this before. I've had the heebie jeebie's all day from this. omfg.... I'd be on a plane back home I'm afraid. I worked in my garden earlier and was so afraid I'd scare up something like this....

When we replaced the garage-fridge there was a huge pile of empty snail shells under it! I LOVE LIZARDS!

What about cockroaches?? hehe no, they wont kill the snakes, but having blue tongues and sleepy lizards in your yard means you wont get snakes. both kinds of lizards are totally harmless, as are the little skinks that'll also be in your yard.
