lucasium stenodactylum

So this thread is composed of a bunch of reptile pics I've taken since back in October, through to now over a couple different trips. First off was a short night up around Newcastle with a couple of friends. This Rough-scale was one of the few snakes out on the road. Tropidechis carinatus...

So it's winter. I hate winter. It's cold, wet, bleak and worst of all, all of the reptiles around me become inactive. Fortunately over the past couple weeks I managed to escape some of winter. These are some finds from the Simpson Desert of far western Qld. Disclaimer: It is is illegal to...

A colleague and I recently got back from a herping trip through the Pilbara ranges. We were hoping to travel further north to the port headland area to try our luck for some Womas and Black headeds but unfortunately we were hit by the full force of mother nature. When it rains up there it...

D. vittatus - no pics as I can't upload them :( Here are a few pics of my vittatus. They seem lighter in colour than most I have seen, and their dorsal stripe much more broken. Pair Male Female Female I love these tiny little guys, they are really active, even if heaps...

In continuation from my previous posts, here is the 2nd to last chapter of a herping trip myself and a few friends went on from October-December 2010. Previous posts found below. http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/field-herping-reptile-studies-5373/nt-qld-herping-trip-western-155397/...

well last night i was out 4x4ing bored as hell when we went past a big patch of sturt desert peas and i have no idea how i saw him just a fluke i guess (sorry for the bad pics .took them on my phone)

So I've been slack with herping threads lately, have still been out and about lots so here are some highlights (simply too many animals to post them all!) from a trip late last year to the a little place in the middle of no where called the Simpson Desert... Enjoy :) Morethia ruficauda - a...

Warning ... this is a big post with a huge number of photos. It takes about 3 minutes to fully load with my dsl broadband connection As most of you know, Australia is a rich with herps. I doubt that there is any place where one could live here and not have a few species of reptiles in one's...

This year I've been out to the southern brigalow belt twice. Once to look for pale-headed snakes (which slacker has already mentioned), and another time to look for yakka skinks. Both trips were successful. My yakka skink trip took place over the long weekend, and I saw three new species (new to...

Well I recently met up with Dr. Mark Hutchinson, a herpetologist that works in the science area of the SA Museum. He took me through some of the specimen collections but I was obviously more interested in the reptiles. Here's a few photos I took and these have been posted with full...

Here's some recent photos of my Ring-tailed Geckos (Cyrtodactylus louisiadensis).

I have borrowed this post from another site as I thought it was quite interesting. "A recent paper, using mitochondrial DNA data, provides new insight into our understanding of gecko evolution and phylogenetic relationships and necessitates a change in nomenclature. Diplodactlyus has been...
