I ID'ed the frog's but i have no idea about the skink's can anyone shed somelight on what it is, ?

Cheers
Shane
 
Probably Ctenotus robustis (eastern striped skink).

Echindas taste like pork, so they aren't all bad!
 
dont worry matt...

Waruikazi, i have not tryed eating a echinda and i dont think i will try it in the near future.
Ctenotus robustis looks like it.
 
those Grey Snakes are really good finds (much better than the Womas)

Cheers,
Scott
