Met this handsome fellow on our walk this afternoon.

It's a Lace Monitor (colloquially also known as a Goanna).

A close up of the front half of a Lace Monitor. This large (1.2m approx long) lizard is an adept tree climber but also very comfortable on the ground. It had speckled skin of black with yellow dots, with yellow skin on the face. Its snout is pointed and it has tree climbing claws on its limbs.

Almost Extinct Caribbean Lizard Makes a Comeback After Island Restoration

In 2018, researchers estimated there were fewer than 100 individuals of the critically endangered Sombrero ground lizard on the island.

Measuring the lizard is difficult as he will never lie still while stretched out straight for me. I managed to get pretty close here, though. Looks like he is at least 50 cm long, probably 51-52 cm if he were completely straightened out.

Photo of an Eastern Blue Tongue Skink from directly about. It is lying on a bed next to an unfurled steel tape measure. The tip of his nose is about 50 cm from the tip of his tail, and he is lying almost but not entirely straight.

Also checking in on the home alone lizard while approaching the Caspian Sea at 40,000 ft.

The dips in the basking spot temperature readings tell me that he was quite active and basking regularly in the middle of the day yesterday, but has been less active so far today.

Hmmm. 6 weeks until we go away for our summer/winter holidays, and I still need to find someone to look after this dude.

Blue tongue skinks are super convenient pets if you're going away for up to about two weeks or so. Adults can comfortably go that long without eating so with heating and lighting on a thermostat and timers, a reservoir of drinking water, and (in summer) aircon left on in the room to avoid overheating he is absolutely fine being left home alone. Longer than that, though, and it can get a bit tricky.

Unlike more common pets like dogs and cats there are no commercial kennels/pet sitters for scaly sausages. Also his enclosure is big, heavy, and fragile, so moving it to a volunteer pet sitter's home is not really practical. So, either I need someone willing to come to my house once a week to give him food and fresh water, or I need to improvise a portable temporary enclosure.
