BOA CONSTRICTOR   (General)

Ah, go on, have a heart; times a wasting; we've got more to say 'bout this, but who listens?

Time to move on to other things. Sad, cause not everything gets done in the scheme of things.

Ah well; can't help that I suppose.

BROWN SNAKE   (Australia) (Requested April 2006)

Dull witted. I haven't intelligence or any striking qualities; not much between the ears!

(Mechanical/survival instincts only.)

CHAMELEON

So what's so good about being able to hide? Don't want to hide; don't want to be anonymous; like to be seen!.........Yeah, I like to be seen............. I'm pretty clever, and pretty good at what I do...............Yeah, I like to be seen!!!!!!!

COBRA  (General)

Lively; I see all and understand. I have a heart; I feel love and other, so called, emotions.

I am love.

CORAL SNAKE   (General)

Big bloke I am; don't mess with me; I got a bite in me you don't want to see.

Treat me good, treat me right, and we'll get on; just see if we might.

CROCODILE

HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!

Hurry along for your own tasty morsels of meat. Here they are, right in front of you. They are 'right in front of you'. Whatever you want is 'right here in front of you'.

You thought that you had to look elsewhere! But NO!  Whatever you want is 'right here in front of you'.

Do you understand? Right here. Look closer. Right here.

That is right.

DINOSAUR (General) (Requested May 2005)

Well, 'big' aren't we! Not for the feint hearted! No. Did we say big?

Well, once upon a time we were big. But not now, no, not now. Extinct; as they say.

Man does not see us in our true context. Yes, we roamed the earth.

Yes, we were large. Yes, we had big appetites. However, only to the extent that was needed. Just an experience; like all experiences.

Yes, we were spirit enjoying a physical life in the form of a rather large and robust creature known today as a dinosaur.

No different to the family cat or dog of today, only larger; still with needs of love and care.

No different from you really. Were we?

EGG EATING SNAKE   (General)

Halleluiah brother! Halleluiah brother! Seems life just passes by! Seems like it flies! Don't hang around with nothing to do; so much to live for; so much to chew.

Time's a wasting; got to hasten, do.

For miss it you will if you don't chew on all of the flavours; all of the sights.

There's plenty to do; its up to you!

GARTER SNAKE   (General)

Hurry along, hurry along. Time's a champion, time's a song. So much to do, so much to do. Time for dancing and having something to do.......

GECKO

Hurry up; no time to waste. I have a date.......

GOANNA  (Monitor Lizard)

Why am I being harassed? Doesn’t anyone understand my desire for calm and rest?

GOPHER / BULL SNAKE   (General)

Hairy nosed wombat; just see if I'm right. Hairy nosed wombat; I don't want to fight.

But you will see, before this day is out.......

Hairy nosed wombat   -   you'll see that I'm right.......

GREEN TREE SNAKE  (Requested April 2006)

'Bout time someone noticed me! Don't you know it gets very lonely by myself.

I haven't got a real friend, no, not a real friend.

IGUANA

Melancholy! Me! You think that "I" am melancholy? Well maybe.......Yes, maybe just a little.

KOMODO DRAGON  (Requested April 2006)

I'm large, yes? I'm fierce, yes? I'm friendly, yes? Yes? Yes? Yes?

And this is what the Komodo asks of you.

What are you? What do you want to do? What are your interests? Yes, it is all about YOU.......

LACE MONITOR

I can show you a thing or two!  Saw you coming; clever me, hee-hee, hee-hee

LIZARDS (General)

New beginnings. The question it poses - Where shall I place my energies?

PYTHON (General) (Requested April 2006)

Intelligence and agility. (Think on your feet.)

RATTLESNAKE

Take it easy, plenty of time, relax. (Lots of energy in reserve for when it's needed.)

RED BELLY BLACK SNAKE   (Australia) (Requested April 2006)

Fierce, don't mess with me. (Mess with me at your own risk.)

SHINGLEBACK  (Two Headed Lizard)

Life is good. Life is grand.

Let go of your troubles, or they'll expand.

Some things are left better unsaid.

Life is sometimes a rose or a bed.

One day you're sweet, the next day you're ill.

We do need to understand that nothing stays still;

ever changing to suit our needs.

We need to embrace it;

we need to squeeze the most out of life that is possible to please.

One day you're here, the next well hmmmmmmmmm..........

So don't give up, when life hands you a tease; but be thankful and know that you'll be pleased to have a chance to be all you are.

Not shackled by do's; not shackled by don'ts; but all will be revealed as you let go of the desire to hold onto every thing so.

And when you can let things go; your burdens will ease, and you'll just glow.

So be you're best; hold your head up so, and we will enjoy the journey as you go.

SIDEWINDER  (Horned Rattle)

Hi there! Cute as a boot! Yes sir'ee; I'm cute as a boot, and a little melancholy, and yes, just a little shy.

Many a day happens and all goes by without a thought, without a care.

Just as well I ain't got any hair, cause if I did, and it got wet, I'm sure I'd be in a terrible spot!

Ah well, life's a pot of this and that; one day your thin, next day you're fat.

Time's one thing we all can't escape. Tummy's in, then tummy's out.

Guess I'll leave the jogging to you, cause I can't hop like a kangaroo, or care very much if you do.

So I'll stay here, just like the rest, and have a cake that I like best. And when you see me getting 'square', you'll know it's because my corsets 'no go'.

I'm getting bigger; oh oh oh oh.

SKINK  (General)

Hurry along there. Why does everyone go so slow? Don't they realise, don't they know that time is everything; it's not just a show!

Life is for living. Life is for 'go'. Life is for ever; but only if you know that life is for living; giving everything a go!

SNAKES  (General) 

What ya doin'? Time for a change.

Time to let everything go.

Time to begin again.

TIGER SNAKE   (Australia) (Requested April 2006)

Down right mean. (I care for no one - please don't care for me - I don't need it.)

TORTOISE

A little here; a little there; a little everywhere.

That's right; spread yourself around.

TURTLE

What's it all about Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? Or do we live for always?

Yes, rather a philosopher am I. Surprised? Yes?

Yes I am. A philosopher who enjoys my own company, I'll have you know.
