Hey everyone.
I am making this thread to upload photos of each time I go herping in my local area; Broken Hill.
I had a few good photos from a year ago, though not sure if I made a post for them as my laptop died recently, so lost a few photos.
A few landscape photos from the past couple weeks.
I decided to head out to an area called the living desert, which also contains a site with large sandstone sculptures.
My main target was to find Egernia stokesii, Pseudechis australis, and Pseudonaja species; non of which I found.
Tiliqua rugosa pair that I found within 1 metre of each other.
Suspected Pseudechis australis skin
Ctenotus robusta. I tried to get a nice photo of it on the ground, but it shot off like a rocket when I put it down.
This Kangaroo was feeding her joey and she would not move from in front of the car until her joey was finished feeding, which allowed me to get a halfway decent photo of her.
I also came across a young goanna towards the end of the day. Though, it heard me before I saw it and it ran away before I got the chance to get a photo.
I decided to head back out to the same location a couple nights later, in the search for nocturnal snakes and geckos.
Started off by finding another Tiliqua rugosa, attempting to hide under a few strands of reed grass.
My next find was very exciting for me, as it is one of my target species of gecko.
Nephrurus milii
Lastly I came across a Pogona vitticeps sleeping in a tree.
Will hopefully be heading out within the next couple of days in an attempt to find more gecko species.
