hello Aussie herp keepers. I was wondering about the legalities of keeping reptiles in Australia?

From Facebook Hmmm. I wonder just exactly what "Protected lizard" means.

My feeding attempts for my two problem womas thus far does not inspire confidence in any way. I put a freshly killed mouse in with the small female, and a freshly killed rat in with the male. After 90 minutes I took both rodents out *sigh*, put the mouse in the fridge and the rat in the...

So, as some of you know, i have had a life long fear of lizards. From garden skinks to goanna's, if they even looked at me, i would end up covered head to toe in goosebumps. :oops: My children & partner want lizards though, & i really do like like them, i have just never been able to go near...

Me and lizardman5 where herping and we saw (upclose) A two tailed sun skink the little garden ones anyone else ever seen one?

Found him in my lounge room :) Grabbed some pictures before letting him go. Just wondering what species he is? A skink of some kind is the most i know.

Can anyone help to identify this species?

hi guys im building a 8x4x4 enclosure any ideas of what i should put in there? cheers.

Well while you haven't seen a hundred threads, that doesn't mean I haven't been out frantically herping every night since my last thread. I've finally gotten some pictures of some snakes and a dodgy shot of a leaftail which I promised myself I would get before making this thread. So here we go...

Mods please delete the other thread. well spring is here and reptiles are beginning to get active, Here are some finds from around newcastle most of these are from differing locations and were not found in one herping spot, no spectacular finds but I'm pretty happy to be finding them. Please...

Please feel free to correct me on an ID...

Hey everyone, my GF spotted this bluey and another one at home while I was out, I came home and this one was still hanging around. After I put him down he was happy to continue to run around looking for bugs infront of me. His tail had healed over. Will their tail not grow back if too...

Hi All, my coastal carpet hasn't eaten in 5 months and i have tried everything and i mean everything, the vet isn't too concerned, so any new suggestions?????? yesterday i have moved him to a bigger pen i have built outside and is more on the move so hopefully he will start eating......

The support I have received with my latest patient has inspired me to start a thread for you to post your wildlife encounters. Have you got photos of animals you have rescued? Even if they were simple catch and release jobs, let us see them :D And of course I'll start it off with my two...

Hi all! I am new to owning a reptile and I need some urgent advice. I have a 9month old olive python, I bought him 3 months ago and he has not fed since. I have tried pinky and fuzzy rats, and he backs away from everything. He has shed once but hardly grown and I am worried sick. What should I do?

Gday, i saw this little critter crawling around in my backyard and he caught my eye as he was quite different to the other garden skinks i have running in the yard, upon closer inspection i realise that he isnt albino but just a very pale grey, i was just wondering, is this a common colour...

Hey everyone, What herps are in your area? Feel free to add pics. Thanks, James

Doing a bit of a stroll around the place last week I managed a few herp photos that might be of interest here. I'm not the best on ID but others will probably know. The only snake I managed to get, almost as thin as a boot lace, Furina ornata, Orange-naped Snake. An interesting turtle...

Well I went out to a party in the Hunter Valley on Saturday and right next to the field the party was in was a beautiful hill that just looked ideal for reptiles. Winter and all, ever the opportunist I decided to go for a walk up it and see what I could find. It was sunny and warm even though...

this little guy was found in the produce section hiding in some buk choy! i don't think he planned on being put in a refrigerated case and becoming a frogsicle! so i took him home and let him go in the garden:)

I'm hopefully getting a couple of C. pulcher in the near future but just wondering if anyone else keeps them and if there are any other species in captivity?
