I remember driving along the QLD/NSW border and was rapt in seeing one about 1,000 km into the trip. Down here, if you want to photgraph one, you need to push three out of the way.

We get a few around this way. Gets real dry here in summer, snakes galore (even if they are only browns that i see)
The 'sleepy' is a shingle back right? Don't the pair for life?

| Not at all Magie. You will not find this colour form within 400 kms of perth.
Here is an example of the perth colour form that you may find in the hills or eastern suburbs but they are nothing like the black & red form.

This is my small colony of shingles which will be up for sale soon for $500. 4 females and 2 males. You can see the two brown ones quite distinctly.
