Blue Tongues are good but you already have Pink Tongues and I think they are better. Aha. Monitors are awesome in every way shape and form. Deff get one. EWD's are sweet as well and I can't wait to get frillies. Wheeleri are high on my list but I have never even seen them for sale! Besides one on here that went in a flash. CND's are on my list too. Beardies= best friends.
 
Haha not sure about a Perentie. Maybe. There will be a new species list put out in 2012 apparently. Now is the time that you can put in a special form which advises the addition of species to that list.
If you want a Perentie badly enough and are good at research maybe you should find out about the form and where to get and do one yourself.

There are some amazing collections out there, so here's my smallish one.

1x Eastern Blue-Tongue - Bluey/Bluester/Bluey Lizard (depending on my mood)
2x Cunningham Skinks - Not named because I can't really tell the difference, it doesn't help that their in an outdoor enclosure. But I think one is bigger than the other.

I CAN keep wheeleri in Vic.... just on an advanced license.... depression turned into excitement when I found that out!
I WILL have a Perentie one day. Please don't laugh at other states misfortune :(
I gotta add another Centralian Carpet Python and a Sand Monitor to my collection list.... probably something else I have forgotten as well but I'm all reptileandamphibianed up and am a pretty happy person.
Got a pair of Diamonds and an Albino Darwin on the way.
Hey Elapo, sorry for your losses, nice wishlist.... look forward to going on a good herp sess with ya too.
Hey MathewB- Are your Cunninghams psychos? Also like your wishlist.

Really, I thought you couldn't keep them here full stop, can't find them on my list.
 
They used to be, they kinda still are. They don't like handling but they calm down for a bit if you hold them for a little while but I don't think they enjoy it. Starting to get used to my presence but I think thats because I'm down at the enclosure every day for a hour, despite this they still run away when they see me. I haven't been bitten but thats not through lack of trying on the Cunningham's part, I was petting one once and didn't realise he/she was asleep and I touched his/hers head, which was a mistake, and my finders narrowly escaped being chomped on.

Despite all this I do love them (even though I'm pretty sure they don't like me) and I'm hoping I have a male and female, I'm not sure if they're old enough to breed but I'm hoping they are. The only problem is I don't know which one is which and then, how am I supposed to catch the little devils?

So in conclusion, they were, and in some part still are, psychos.....

G'day Jonny, nice to meet you.
Feel free to add some pics- especially interested in seeing your Darwins.
With you on wanting a Rough-Scaled Python. I think they might be next. Maybe.
Good luck with the move. I'm renting and it's the boyfriends only freak out when I mention I want another reptile or frog. Space and moving all the heavy enclosures etc.
An Albino Olive would be the ultimate.
