    I think frogs should get a throw down all of their own Diane, I will do that one next in my tour of the animals.

    I had a girl friend years ago that had a big one of these, she used to let it sleep in bed with her under the covers. It was a short relationship.

    Not sure what exactly this guy is called Robert, but I think it’s “Striped Skink”. It’s one of our most common ones around. They get quite ‘tame’ with the result that we have a couple of permanent residents in the house. They’re handy to help control ants and spiders.

      In the spring they like to get up on logs and sun themselves in most of Canada… Not the big snapping ones though.

  Missing the snake. I’ll have to visit the local snake den in the spring to capture the Garter Snakes coming out of hibernation.

  I was admiring the photos on this throwdown recently. So many great shots!
  
  A funny little story for you. My family recently vacationed in our province’s capital: Victoria, British Columbia. The day we were leaving we decided to drive out through Beacon Hill Park. We spotted a pond with some turtles sitting on a log and frantically looked for a spot to park so we could catch them before they submerged. Successful, my husband and daughters and I started taking photos. My husband was the first to realize that the turtles were actually very clever statues…we had a good laugh. A few minutes later, a kind local man told us that there was a real turtle a little ways down the path. I am sure these turtle statues are a source of amusement for locals, as tourists flock to snap shots of them. We have all had more than one good laugh as we share our story with others. Anyway, this is a REAL turtle, from Beacon Hill Park. He was not amused with our attentions and we kept our distance as he looked quite bothered with us disturbing his sleep.
