also caught (no pics) painteds,western and cental netted dragons,two lined dragons, pebble dragon, ringed brown snake, tree dtellas, bynoes geeckos, fattail gecko and pogona mitchelli probly caught more just cant remember!
it was cool to see things i have or have kept in the wild and theyre colours, size and behaviour.
it was every herpers dream.:D
hope you enjoy.:)

thanks Ridgie.
 
yes fast and agile then straight down their burrows witch i then had to dig up! on one day in the simpson desert there was about five in half an hour and almost fainted in the car from running, digging and climbing!
i only thought i would see them and then id chase them and lose em, but i ended catching 9 and saw 14!!
all well worth the effort to get a good look at those beautiful monitors!
 
umm wouldn't the the black head be tristis tristis ? not tristis orientalis, just a question.
lovely monitors would be awesome to find all those species in the wild
 
my bleeding hand is from that tristis BTW.
But i deserved it for wrecking his arvo:lol:

Good finds mate, not being rude by why where you chasing the animals and then digging them up from there borrows?
 
I'm impressed you got hold of that wild sand monitor, being such quick reptiles that don't settle easily once restrained. Did you go spotlighting at night?

yeah, orientalis is lighter coloured and I think is limited to the coast?
 
ohh man awesome pics would have been awesome to chase down those herps you must have been very determined to catch those sand monitors

yeah I'm curious why you would dig up somethings home just for a photo and a hold as well.
