Reptiles; Echidna; Marsupials
Western grey Kangaroos
You have a good chance of seeing a family of these lovely animals in the early morning or evening, particularly in the western half of Foxes Lair. If you stand still they will stay and look at you before hopping away.
Echidnas have a large territory and are rarely seen, but you may be lucky.
Shingleback or Bobtail lizards are common in warm weather. they try to look fierce when approached, but are harmless.
The Racehorse Goanna (Sand Monitor) is also very active in Foxes Lair in the warm months, as evidenced by the numerous holes that have a round upper and flat lower edge edge of the entrance. Occasionally you will see them resting in the sun before they run away at speed. They have large claws but are not aggressive; just stay still and let them escape.
Yes, there are snakes in Foxes Lair. They are active in summer, but the chance of seeing one is very small, particularly if you stay on walking tracks. Snakes will try to escape if approached unless they are surprised or feel trapped. The main risk is for dogs running through the bush, and which may challenge them.
