Any pet shops ect.

Go to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

I second what joelysmoley said, that place is amazing

Yeh just drove past it, they have reptiles do they? I didn't see anything on the poster

They've got a pretty decent reptile house, it has two levels. They also have a huge saltie there and lots of freshies, and there are water dragons that just run around. I did work experience there and when I was on my break I would just stand around watching the scrubbies do nothing haha. It's worth the visit

Also maybe check out David Fleays Wildlife Park, which is also near Currumbin

It's about an hour away from Surfers, but if you can manage it, head out to the Scales & Tails Reptile Outlet at Oxley. Paul Bluey's aquariums (next door) is worth a look, too.

Id say just seeing paul is an experience
+ one to currumbin w/s

As said there curumbin sanctuary is deffinently worth a look. When you see the saltie you will know why his name is holey.
Also there is Lukes reptile kingdom at the carrara markets. He has a good little show and is good to talk to.
Cheers Cameron.

[cadwallader]

No currumbin wildlife sanctuary is not an hour from surfer
Probably only 20 minutes drive even in bad traffic
Having grown up on the gold coast for 18 years I would say go there as its the best place on the gold coast to see a variety of reptiles aswell as a number of other native animals
Definatly worth your time unless things have changed

go to Springbrook and bush walk particularly the Purlingbrook falls circuit for land mullets, lacies, coastals and many more.

If you do go bushwalking, check with parks as alot of the tracks are closed due to fallen trees... I was up there yesterday.

 

[davobmx]

Just went to Luke's reptile kingdom, awesome, love those jungles with those big black eyes.
Still really want to see a bredli or Diamond hopefully see one somewhere else.

Anyone have any idea about this place
