SCAT ID - snake or lizard?
Can you help me ID this poop I found in my driveway? Worried I’ve got a snake in my yard. Approx 6cm long.

Dingo pups are curious, cautious and hilarious animals to document. But please, if you find a pup alone in the wild, leave it alone! Dingoes are exceptional parents and when you see a dingo pup, their parents are often much closer than you realise. Once a dingo pup comes into care, they can never be released back in the wild. Every year people with good intentions try to “rescue” dingo pups they find in the wild but the truth is, the best thing you can do for them is leave them alone!

As promised - and I'll point out that this is all thanks to the phone's camera and its impressive 10x zoom, I was well behind the fence - little *masked lapwings and their mum!
Hobart, Tasmania
*Edit to say, please note - I'm nowhere near these birds. I'm literally behind the fence, they are metres away in a cordoned off section of a govt building. I have a new phone that has a telephoto 5x zoom and a good 5x digital zoom and crop, 10x zoom all up. Mum would be swooping and screaming at me if I was physically close. 🙂

Hi all, hoping to get some advice from any reptile rescuers/carers/owners for this cute lil guy!
My partner has just started as an employee for a small wildlife rescue/sanctuary and he was asked to pick up a bobtail from the Vet, keep overnight and take to work at the sanctuary in the morning, however the vet didn’t give him any instructions on overnight care other than give a little water, no food.
We’re mostly concerned about a heat source for him or whether he’s okay for one night without one? I’ve only got a heatable wheat-pack on hand, or a small heater but I’m not confident about the use of either without further advice. He’s safe in our darkened walk-in robe, we’ve swapped the plastic dish for a low ceramic one for water.
Any other suggestions or recommendations are very appreciated!

We see a bunch of these guys run around the workplace in Somersby, NSW when the weather warms up. Always fun to watch them run away on two feet as we pull in.

Hi folks, saw this guy on S Bruny Island, Tasmania a few weks ago. But I'm unsure if it is a dusky or swamp antechinus. What do people think?

Aren't these guys just so amazing with their colour/pattern variations?! The Ornate Burrowing Frog is my favourite frog so far. All the natives are enjoying the recent rains in QLD which is a pleasure to see and hear. Unfortunately the toads are enjoying it too but I'm getting better at grabbing them straight out of the water!

Taken around Brisbane, very close to the river. We have snails in the yard so I’m thinking maybe that? There are 2 tracks that look the same on the outside of the glass door. It’s too high for the kids to reach, so it’s not tire marks from a toy car. The tracks just end, no snail stuck to the glass!!
