My Experience

hey all, well i have just come back from my holiday in newcastle. stayed with some friends of mine. anyway,,, there next door neighbour works at the australian reptile park, so we went there for the day, and i was lucky enough to be able to hold his baby alligator for awhile while he did one of his shows. its was great. pitty i couldnt take him home. for anyone who hasnt been to the reptile park, you should go. its great. so yeah, thought i would share some pics...
cheers
mel.

Yes Kylie, that appears to be a cunninghams skink in with tiger snakes. These are kept in outdoor pits at the park. There is no danger to the lizards but no, you shouldn't do it at home.
