Reptiles found within your fence line! How many are out there and we just don't notice them? Post your pics and let's start counting... A friend of mine found this big girl next to her back veranda the other day. After awhile, she captured and took her down the road to some bushland to let her...

Hi All, just wanted to share this little story and photos... Today I was relaxing in the pool when I turned around to grab the noodle and saw something staring at me, it took me a second to realise it was a common garden skink (correct me if I'm wrong:oops:), he'd fallen off and it looked like...

Hey guys. I went out to the Royal National Park today and snapped this little guy. I'm not very good with skinks but I was tossing up between either Ctenotus robustus (Eastern Striped Skink) or Eulamprus quoyii (Eastern Water Skink). Considering the habitat he was found in (rocky outcrops and...

Why is legal to kill mammals such as mice and rats for the production of reptile food, but we can't do the same to skinks and frogs. Don't get me wrong, I love frogs and skinks, however there are issues with feeding mice and rats to young GTP's and I know that the top breeders feed them skinks...

Thought i'd post this thread because most of my lizards are skinks & I'd really like to see some of the differant species some people have. 1: My Pink Tongue Skink, 2: My pair of Cunninghams, 3: My Black Rock Skinks 4: My Bluey enjoying himself in his waterbowl.

I recently posted four "photo guides" to Australian lizards. To find and photograph these lizards, I travelled whenever possible to many different parts of the continent. So far, I have visited all States with the exception of the Northern Territory. Here are photos of the places that I...

I've just returned from a trip to the Gulf of Carpentaria, north of Mount Isa. I think the highlights were the olive pythons (we found two) and Cryptoblepharus zoticus (Cryptoblepharus is my favourite skink genus), plus the bats. Species marked with an asterisk (*) are ones which I hadn't...

My son, Nicholas, and I have just returned from a quick trip out to Windorah, Queenlsand. Windorah is an isolated town in the channel country of the far southwestern corner of Queensland. This area is a long drive from Wollongong so we spent many hours in the car and traveled a little over...

I visited the Warrumbungles several times in the last few years. This is a great place to see some of our dry country reptiles and it also is excellent for bushwalking. I think that the Grand High Tops walk is absolutely stunning with magnificent views of the cores of these old volcanos. This...

The drive between Brisbane and Wollongong is a long one so we decided to spent a night in the granite belt of southern Queensland. Conditions this year were wet and cool so I did not see much but did find one of my long-time targets. I will combine the results of this trip with photos from two...

Found this Skink in the loo at home. Looks like a cat has been at it. Not sure if it will survive, but lets see. What should I be feeding it? I have plenty of crickets are they any good? Any other special needs please let me know. Tourett

Just over a week ago a mate of mine who works for a tree lopping service dug up some eggs that he said were reptile eggs as he damaged one when digging and a snake came out wriggling round and not well so he cut it's pain short.Anyway he thought well they're not going to be any good or hatch if...

Over the past few weeks I have been doing a study up here on reptiles in disturbed and undisturbed riparian habitats. We have been going out into the field daily to different disturbed and undisturbed riparian sites along the Ross River and basically searching for reptiles, predominantly...
