    Help sexing a Cunningham.

    Anyone know how to sex Cunningham's by looks? I heard there is a neck length difference? Or is probing the only way? Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

    ID this large skink?

    Hi, I was at Healesville sanctuary the other day, and saw this large skink lying next to a blue tongue. I'm quite puzzled as to what it is, because it's not a blue tongue and I'm fairly sure its not a shingle-back/stumpy tail either because of the scales. Thanks for the help!

    Hi all, I've recently acquired an adult pair of Cunningham's skinks and everything is going great, one is very friendly and enjoys coming out of the cage everyday for a bit of exploring whilst the other is still very shy and retreats at the the first sign of movement but is showing signs of...

    Cunningham Skink Keepers!

    I'd like to hear from keepers of this species, about natural foods for them... In books and Internet pages I've looked at it duznt really go into great detail about their natural foods.... says fruits, berries, flowers blah blah but can't see any specific names with these items.... Cheers, Brad.

    Shingles and Beardies?

    This is all hypothetical but a possibility in the future. I have read often and seen in shops, beardies and shinglebacks being kept quite happily together. If I were to do this someday (no hate please) how would you recommend heating and lighting them. Would I be able to keep 1 of each species...

    Amazing king skinks.

    It's no surprise to anyone that has seen some of WA's wheat belt stimi's or Boodarie red womas, that we have amazing Egernia as well. This is a breeding project from the lads at Reptile Mania in WA.

    How old are your older snakes?

    Last year when my little Stimson's python hurt himself, I took him to a reptile vet who seemed extremely surprised at how old he was (12 years old). He kept saying that generally you didn't see snakes that old. I was under the impression that pythons generally live to around the 20 year mark (as...
