Almost stepped on a Bluetongue

On the way to the grocery store, I often take the back path, which leads through a bit of scrub. Just after leaving the fenced back yard, there is a bunch of bushes. When I pass, there is usually a scurry sound in them. It sounds like it is made by something bigger than the ubiquitous geckos. I figured it was probably a snake, and despite always looking, I’ve never seen anything. Well today I almost stepped on this guy, maybe he is the noisemaker.
PS. Even though it kinda looks like the suspected snake, it’s actually an Eastern Blue-tongued Lizard
See? This is NOT what I’m looking forward too…yikes!
that and the snags! 🙁
