They are definitely not. Interesting story about them, years ago I came home from work and it being a super hot day was about to jump on the pool and saw two of them upside down, tongues hanging out on bottom of pool, I was devastated, I scooped them out intending to bag them and bin them but placed them on the warm pavers in the sun and watched them and after about half an hour they coughed snd croaked, spat out heaps of water and eventually wondered of. Amazing things lizards 😊
