Just out of curiosity, SLACKra, which reference puts weasel skinks (Saproscincus mustelinus) in Lampropholis?

While living where I am, the only reptiles I've seen in the area have been one garden skink (L, guichenoti), one blue tongued skink (T. scincoides), which I assume was someone's escaped pet, and birds. Hooray for sunny Melbourne!

Wow - you guys have my pity.

 

[Sdaji]

Ad: heh, Melbourne is pretty bleak! Around Brisbane you can see more species in an afternoon than we have around Melbourne! Having said that, we do have a few nice species, and at least the low species diversity means we can reasonably easily complete the challenge of finding every one of them! (yeah, I know, that's a pretty desperate attempt at finding the silver lining!) I still get happy when I see snakes in Melbourne, even though I've seen all the species before.

 

[Magpie]

What's the defintion of "in my area"?
I notice a few people using a whole greater city area, do I get to use the whole of FNQ as my area?

 

[MrBredli]

Anywhere within an hour's drive?

 

[Sdaji]

I was talking about the area within a walking distancish radius of where I live at the moment.
