How different would the world be if people changed colour when they had sex, a bit like chameleons? Well, that was my first thought as I grabbed the camera and snapped a bit of reptile porn. It was slightly concerning, the way the female was being grasped and held down. She was bright red, whilst the male was all multi-coloured and proud. Her other suitor was turning a spurned shade of brown in the tree next door. They were 'engaged' for quite a while, one of her eyes looking up in what appeared to be boredom but I shouldn't be anthropomorphising, finally she wiggled free. The eggs have a gestation period of nice months. I have a train of thought which goes along the lines of; wouldn't it be much easier if humans laid eggs so we could pop them in the airing cupboard for nine months and our young hatch being able to feed themselves? I think maybe I've been in the bush too long and eaten too much rice already.
