Lizardman59, you do have some cool herps in your yard. What species are they?

I think you've been outcooled by Spiderdan though.

Spiderdan, you're very fortunate to have such cool herps in your backyard! Are they Varanus gilleni in the first two photos and V. gouldii in the last?

G'day Steve. Thanks for the ID. Do you see many of these Parasuta gouldii over there?
Can you also please tell us what species of Egernia they are?

Awesome mate cheers for sharing =)

 

[spiderdan]

The first 2 pics are Varanus gilleni and the last is Varanus flavirufus.

 

[Elapidae1]

99% certain the first one is Egernia kingii, have you spotted the second one in the first pic,LOL. second skink i think is Morethia obscura. Third and last is Egernia napoleonis.

I am actually yet to see a goulds hooded myself but yes they are common.

its a blue tongue on steriods mate

 

[waruikazi]

its a blue tongue on steriods mate

It's tongue was white but?

i belive its a Crocodylus Brocklesnarii it lives by talking to about itself in the third person and having 3 course meals of steroids and growth hormones

It just kind of 'nyucked' at me.

waruikazi - i dont agree with the others to me i swear its a common garden skink - looks quite small for the average size you mite want to try feeding it ! try to pat it at first then put your arm at mouth level to feed it dont worry about food your arms a great starter it will work out the rest dont be afraid its only a skink and if it tries to death roll you its only playing ( rip the arm off ) game it wont hurt for long !

u guys hope this helps with your skinks !

mum's love them in there house so for christmas u know what to do ! pick it up gently and bring it in out of the sun !
