outdoors in vic?

[ADZz_93]

Thinking of building an outdoor enclosure, but what can go in it? i live in southern victoria, and it gets quite cold over winter. anyone know of any species that can handle the cold well, snake or lizards?

The only thing I can think of would be a diamond python.....Anyone else got any suggestions??

I live in southern vic and i get shinglebacks and bluetounges around the yard on occasion, so they might be a good bet.

blueys and shinglebacks definitely ^^ jackys shud be alright too

I've seen people keep both in the one enclosure (big enclosures) so you don't have to choose, just have both!

i have seen in melbourne in outdoor pits, bluies, shinglebacks, jackies, eastern and gippsland water dragons, central beardies, gidgees, cunningham, whites, diamonds and longneck turtles. maybe more but cant think of them. personally i dont keep anything outdoors, i dont like not being able to keep as closer eye on them

They don't like the cold and damp?
There are thousands of them here in S.E S.A, they're one of the most common lizards down here, and it's one of the wettest places in Australia.

I tried Stumpies outside in Melbourne in a sheltered enclosure and they didnt do well. I wouldn't do it, i was on the Mornington Peninsula, which is quite wet (when not in drought)
