Lightning Ridge NSW

[ryanharvey1993]

Since the new herping section has been put in i decided to re post this thread here, some of the IDs have been fixed up and ive deleted some of the blurry photos hope you all enjoy it.

We went to lightningridge in April. On the way out we saw lots of road kill including a tiger snake on the way across the Great Dividing Range, an eastern brown snake near Narrabri and a shingleback and a central or eastern bearded dragon and a shingleback just near Wee Waa plus a live central or eastern bearded dragon on a log on the side of the road.

Habitat looked like this

Here is a list of everything I saw at lightningridge (not much as we were there for only 2 nights and it wasn’t that hot as it’s the wrong time of the year)

Lots - Tree dtella – Gehyra variegata

Lots - Bynoe’s gecko - Heteronotia binoei
