Hey Guys

Unexpectidly went herping this afternoon, was flying Kites in the wind then decided to go for a walk....have never seen a thing here before, but today was a good day for basking..

Sorry about the bad pics, i couldnt get close enough
This dude was hugeee,, i thought it was a land mullet, but am not sure now, all i know its one big skink! lol
I tried getting a better pic, but he ran into the pipe and then hissed at me :D

yes land mullet, it has a nice choice of hide, dragon is jacky dragon, skink is ctenotus robustus
 
Good job at spotting them and thanks for sharing, its great to see we can still go out and find these in their natural habitat.
 
Well done sel, thanks for sharing your photos. I think that bottom reptile is a coppertail skink, but im not 100% sure.
 
Last skink is C. robustus, very common around the central coast, though hard to get good pics of... without catching them anyway....

Cool, thanks Jason..i had slim to none chance of catching him lol stupid piece of grass in the way!
 
Skink looks like a ctenotus tainelatus pardon the spelling

If it's a robustus it's got nice rear end red coloring to it
 
def robustus because of markings on sides, not uncommon for the robustus to have nice colour like that though!
 
Netted dragons are not found anywhere even close to the central coast, maybe a few hundred km west of the great dividing range and it would be more believeable. It also looks nothing like a netted dragon.....
