there were also lots of shinglebacks, but everytime we found one, we didnt have the camera, we also saw dragons basking on the road, but didnt get a good look, we didnt even see one snake or monitor

I think the one you couldn't id is heteronotia binoe

Horrible music, I am guessing you were stripping bark to find the geckos, did you just leave it on the ground or nail it back on?

How much for the tub of geckos?

Lizard boy I know you where having fun but you shouldnt really catch 50 wild geckos and put them in one chinese container just for photos' plus photos of them in there natural habitat always looks better

uh, yeh sometimes stripping bark, but also just lifting it slightly and peeking in, wich id a nasty suprise when the bark contains a huntsmen, also music is good, do you like horses screaming into a mic??

yeh, if we wanted natural photo's we would have taken the camera at night, they are VERY active during the night
by the way.....there were 30

when we go next year, me and james will get on our bikes, and follow the road for a couple of k's, see what we can find
there were definately monitors around, as there were marking of feet and a long tail lol, and the tell tale snake tracks were there as well, we also found a monitor skeleton, not too big but yeh....would sand monitors be up there?

edit: just found sand monitor distrubution, yes they are there

 

[AllThingsReptile]

anybody got any tips with finding any of the following herps?
death adders
sand monitors
central bearded dragon
central netted dragon
painted dragon
have checked distribution charts, all are in the area (death adders are a little away, but last year we found the shed skin of a death adder)

 

[AllThingsReptile]

cant find a distribution chart

will also be looking for MD's as we camp along the darling river
