eulamprus quoyii

Hey guys, just thought I would share a few of my pics from a quick trip down to Jervis Bay I made with some friends. Didn't get any rain but the ponds and swamps had water in them so we were lucky enough to find a few frogs. Several skink species around especially water skinks. Brown Snakes were...

I am trying to put together a full list of species that would be found in warrumbungles national park to save me having to look through my books, so just wondering, what species hae you seen there? thanks

My wife and I spent most of our recent holiday (early Sep) at Mission Beach, Qld. Mission Beach is about a 90 minute drive south of Cairns. While at Mission Beach, I visited Lacey Creek almost every day. Lacey Creek flows through rainforest that was damaged by Cyclone Larry a few years ago...

I've searched google but I've made myself crazy with trying to match this guy up with photos. I found a similiar one, but there was no size reference, and the stripes were more gold than yellow. Anyways, found this guy in Coopers Plains, while exploring the stormdrains. Almost stepped on him...

There is a reference in the SA Museum lizards book of populations of EWD's of both subspecies occurring in Adelaide. Can anyone cofirm if these still exist???? Danny

Here is the first of two posts of herps that I have seen near Wollongong, NSW, in the last three years. The habitat near Wollongong consists mostly of wet eucalyptus forest on the slopes of the escarpment with isolated patches of rainforest in some of the protected gullies. There is heath on...

Last Spring, I visited Dharawal Nature Reserve on several locations. This reserve is only about a 20 minute drive from Wollongong. It is a great place for frogs, lizards and flowers. In this post, I will include photos of reptiles and flowers and in the next post, the incredible frogs that I...

This is a great time of the year to see a variety of reptiles. Young of the year are everywhere and all of the reptiles seem to be actively searching for their final meals before the arrival of winter. Yesterday, the weather was perfect so I went for a long walk at Royal. Last Saturday, I...

My wife, younger daughter and I went on a walk today in Royal National Park. This was a beautiful autumn's day with temperatures in the mid-20s, clear skies and a light breeze. The summer humidity was gone so the walking conditions were ideal. We followed the Coast Track from Garie Beach to...

My friend is camping around the Murray River in S.A. He said he has seen lots of lizards... they are dark green and blackish and have a gold strip down each side, he also said that they are like droptail skinks but bigger and thicker. He said they are always around water and tree roots. I...

Hi Everyone, Here is a pic of an extremely gravid eastern water skink, This will be her second clutch this season. These guys run wild around my backyard, they can have some beaut colouration in the sunshine, bottle green/aqua heads and bright copper backs. The ones in my turtle pit get fed...

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...

As I mentioned in my previous post, my wife and I spent 10 days in Brisbane in January. Most days were wet but there was a bit of sun on one weekend. We decided to take advantage of it and visit the Lamington Plateau with one trip to the Binna Burra area and one trip to the O'Reilly's area...

Does anyone keep water skinks (Eulamprus)? I chasing Eastern Water Skinks (Eulamprus quoyii), but are interested in any water skinks.

Spent a few hours in the Royal with JasonL and MrSpike tonight, just a nice 10km walk...!! (THANKS JASON!) But always worth it when you find a few nice things.

Hey, I put another crack in my 8*2*2 tank this arvo so I can't use it as a fish tank so decided to put lizards in. What lizards won't grow over 20-30cm? I am not a fan of geckos, I prefer streamline bodies that don't have funny tails and such. Also, can lizards be mixed in with turtles...

Alecia and I spent 24 hours up at the Lamington Plateau with some (human) friends of ours, looking for some (animal) friends of ours. We found a whole bunch of stuff. Let me know if I've mis-IDed anything. We saw non-reptilian critters too. You can have a look at those pics on my blog...

Hi guys... Beautiful day last Sunday... Only one thing to do: picnic in Lane Cove National Park (NSW)... Once thing not to forget though (besides beer, chips and blanket): my camera. I was in LC NP once before about 3 or 4 weeks ago and I have seen the most amazing EWDs. So I hoped that I would...

I am looking for Eastern Water Skinks in Bundaberg area or I can travel to Brisbane. Will pay frieght if else where in Queensland. Prefer breeding pair from un related parents but any animals will be considered at any resonable price.

Went to Paluma Dam on the w'end for a spot of camping and found this rather large skink. He was about 15cm stv and was rather happy to pose for the camera. I'm thinking maybe a Major Skink from the Egernia Genus, however I know nothing about skinks so help me out. He was found over a dam wall in...

I saved this little guy from a cat, luckily I got there before the cat did any damage. I took him inside and put him in a clickclack on a heat cord to calm down, and make sure the cat didn't grab him again straight away. I just took him outside and let him go in the park, opposite direction...

They would have to be the most common wild herp out there, but does anybody actually keep or breed them in captivity? I'm not interested in getting any, just curious... Adam

Hey all, I bought this 2 1/2 ft tank from Mrs_I the other week, anyway, I decided to make a lid and a base thing for it today, and i painted 3 sides with marone so you can't see through the back etc. What do you think of my handy work???? :D:D and also any suggestions on what I could keep in...

friend's kids found this and asked me what it is, in my book it looks like a golden water skink but im not sure if they get this big. TIA

Hey all Does anyone know a good website for keeping and breeding eastern water skinks

I went on the usual walk with my boy the other day and got some photos. Thought I would share because it really is a beautiful place. We didn't find much more than a water skink (golden, I think but not sure, if anyone can I.D i would be happy, a few leaches, birds and fish. It is still warming...

Hello Everyone, Just wondering if anyone could help me. The kids are always catching little skinks and spiders in the creek that runs on the back of our house. Typically they catch little garden skinks that I always caught as a kid, however the other week they caught one that neither I or they...

Ok so is the skink the Asian House Gecko's everyone keeps talking about? Found him under my bed and decided it wasn't a suitable habitiat for him;) The other little guy I found in the pool wich is strange coz its only about 15C here today and normally they only end up in there when the dam is...

Hey all, just wondering if anybody on here keeps Eastern Water Skinks, love to see some pics of your setups and your reptiles....

Ok while camping I saw heaps of these fella's sunning themselves down at the river. I stopped at one stage and could count 4 sitting in the open. They are probably common as but I have no idea about different Skink species. From East Gippsland region, Victoria. About 20cms total length.

Here is a selection of photos taken on the day of my "incident"

. :D Taken today, ignore date.

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...

G'day everyone, I found this little skink under my house while I was cleaning my enclosures. I'm unsure, but could it be an Eastern Water Skink ??? Looking forward to hearing everybodies opinion ..... Cheers, TeZa !!!!!!!!

How many people out there have logs etc sitting on the floor of their enclosures?? This story is for you..... This morning my male bearded dragon was fine and healthy.. being him self he puts on a show chasing my female beardie every morning... this could have been the last time i saw him...

I saw my first wild herp today on vic barracks. A cool little garden skink about 4 inches in length, now isnt that hardcore!! And yes, its pathetic i know, but for me living and working in a cement jungle its cool!! NOT!

Found this little guy in my house, he seems to be living behind some brickwork inside my house. He looks to me like a Grass skink (Lampropholis guichenoti) ,but I'm not 100% he also looks like a small Eastern water skink(eulamprus quoyii)...

I was sold a Green Tree Snake that was supposedly eating pinky rats. I have had her for some time now and all I can get her to eat is frogs that I catch or Lizards such as garden skinks or water skinks from the creeks near home.I really want her to eat more readily available and healthier meals...

My father absolutely loves our backyard's Eastern Water Skink population so Im looking for someone that breeds them before he starts taking them from outside. :lol: IF anyone knows a breeder or the price they generally go for it would be much appreciated. Cheers, Jay
