I had a look through my folders and discovered that I had more wild herp pics than I realised and thought I'd throw them in here together. I know some of the species but not all but I'm happy to just post them and see how many can be identified by the experts in here... something I am far from...

Well herping season is pretty much over, but I thought I'd post some pics of some stuff I've been finding recently over the last 2 months. I've been trying to improve my photography so criticism is appreciated. So I started last month by doing some frogging around the gated complex I live in...

The impending move of my blueys nt an outdoor pit has me contemplating what to do with my six foot tank and I'd love som ideas or even pics if anyone has any of small critters who will live happily ia colony type arrangement.they don't have to be stunning, I have a lot of interest in lovely...

Well I went out to a party in the Hunter Valley on Saturday and right next to the field the party was in was a beautiful hill that just looked ideal for reptiles. Winter and all, ever the opportunist I decided to go for a walk up it and see what I could find. It was sunny and warm even though...

Hello everyone, This has been a busy year for me at work and I have not been out much. I have only been up to Royal National Park a couple of times this summer. One of those trips was on Good Friday. The weather was mild and sunny so I decided to go on a bush walk up at Royal. I love the...

Decided to snap a couple more pics to see if i could get anything half decent of the striped skinks, they are so flighty, still yet to get a decent photo. The night skink on the other hand is much more settled and sits still for pics.

I thought I'd have some fun and post some shots of a snake i recently caught and see who can ID it first. For the newbs, so you hard core seasoned herps with venom in your veins keep it to yourself eh! ok first photo will put another one up tomorrow!

Some of what Matt (Mattsnake) and I found over the last 2 nights. Was an interesting few nights with plenty of furry things making noises - including 2 Spotted Quolls! There was a massive Red Bellied Black living near our tent, but managed to escape photo's a few times. Start with the best find...

Some sunshine coast herping for easter.. no eggs.. just a rough scaled snake..

My husband Reptilerob and i was herping around the mitta mitta area on the weekend. We found lots of herps but this little guy we found was awesome. Could i please have some ID. My first though was a skink of some kind maybe a young one. It was a beautiful sight to see.

My wife Rett82 and myself spent a rare kid free day together yesterday to do a bit of herping. I wont go into too many details, but here a few photos from the day. First reptile we saw was a skink, probably a water skink running across the road and into some bushes. The Rett82 found this...

Just another of my recent herp threads, put them up else where and decided to put them up here just for anyone who missed out or doesn't use other forums. enjoy Have been lucky enough to have spent the last 3 nights in the south east brigalow belt of queensland, found about 30 species, went to...

Hey all, Ive been seeing so many threads out there showing off snakes and other reptiles and i cant seem to find one showing off skinks, I just love my little Sand Swimmer and would love to see everyone elses Sand Swimmers or skinks that they have !

Well I haven't been able to get out lately since I have gotten the Chicken Pox and have had it for two weeks, so I finally got out and it was really good day. So I started off on my walk and straight away I found a Baby Lacie Monitor Varanus Varius laying across the track, I tried to get good...

I've just returned from two weeks of poking around near Dalby. Here are some pics. This was a work trip, so the camera didn't get as much use as I would have liked. Reptiles/amphibians I saw but didn't photograph are: -Diplodactylus vittatus -Pseudechis guttatus -Carlia foliorum...

hey, do any herpers have a list of what they have seen in lane cove national park at day and night while herping etc. thanks.

Thought i'd post this thread because most of my lizards are skinks & I'd really like to see some of the differant species some people have. 1: My Pink Tongue Skink, 2: My pair of Cunninghams, 3: My Black Rock Skinks 4: My Bluey enjoying himself in his waterbowl.

These are photos from the Dharawal area and Jervis Bay. I visited Jervis Bay last weekend and Dharawal today (Sat 22 Aug). Although this is August and technically winter, the weather has been mild and spring seems to have arrived a little early this year. Many plants are in full flower and a...

Hi everyone, This will be my first post to this forum so hope it works! I've been out quite a bit recently looking for reptiles in my local area, Kangaroo Valley on the NSW south coast, about 150km south of Sydney. The weather has been great for reptiles the last few weeks, and I've noticed...

SCINCIDAE -- Skinks This is the most diverse and abundant family of reptiles in Australia. Members of this family have adapted to virtually all habitats and may be found from tide pools to alpine areas. They range from a tiny islet south of Tasmania up through the Torres Strait Islands north...

I visited Royal National Park about a month ago and then returned again today with my younger daughter, Alexia. Both visits were along the Great Coast Walk from Garie Beach to Wattamolla. I decided to combine photos of these two trips into a single post. The rugged coastal cliffs, strange...

Just thought i would post some pic's of reptiles that live around my area. Some of the herps live in my backyard and some live in the bush around here. I will put some more shoot's after these. 1) Broad-Tailed Gecko (Phyllurus platurus) 2) Jacky Dragon (Amphibolurus muricatus) 3) Eastern Water...

Firstly, Merry Christmas to everyone! My son, Nicholas, and I just returned from a quick camping trip out to the Warrumbungle National Park near the little town of Coonabarabran, NSW. This park is a 6-hour drive from Wollongong. We try to visit it at least once a year for its excellent...

Hey guys, just thought I would share a few of my pics from a quick trip down to Jervis Bay I made with some friends. Didn't get any rain but the ponds and swamps had water in them so we were lucky enough to find a few frogs. Several skink species around especially water skinks. Brown Snakes were...

I am trying to put together a full list of species that would be found in warrumbungles national park to save me having to look through my books, so just wondering, what species hae you seen there? thanks

One morning while staying at Mission Beach, QLD, I got up at 3:30 am and drove south for three hours to Mt. Elliot in Bowling Green National Park. This park is situated a little to the south of Townsville. I wanted to arrive soon after sunrise since lizards at that time of the day tend to bask...

August is the final month of winter in the Wollongong area. By the middle of the month, many plants in the heath habitats have commenced flowering. In another 2 or 3 weeks, the heath will be a blaze of colour. Some of the smaller skinks have begun to emerge when the days are mild and sunny...

Last Spring, I visited Dharawal Nature Reserve on several locations. This reserve is only about a 20 minute drive from Wollongong. It is a great place for frogs, lizards and flowers. In this post, I will include photos of reptiles and flowers and in the next post, the incredible frogs that I...

This is a great time of the year to see a variety of reptiles. Young of the year are everywhere and all of the reptiles seem to be actively searching for their final meals before the arrival of winter. Yesterday, the weather was perfect so I went for a long walk at Royal. Last Saturday, I...

I visited the Warrumbungles several times in the last few years. This is a great place to see some of our dry country reptiles and it also is excellent for bushwalking. I think that the Grand High Tops walk is absolutely stunning with magnificent views of the cores of these old volcanos. This...

My wife, younger daughter and I went on a walk today in Royal National Park. This was a beautiful autumn's day with temperatures in the mid-20s, clear skies and a light breeze. The summer humidity was gone so the walking conditions were ideal. We followed the Coast Track from Garie Beach to...

I decided to take my son on a walk in the Blue Mountains today before my next work trip tomorrow. We had a great day although the weather was initially wet. We drove over the mountains to Lithgow and then waited until the weather began to improve in the mid-morning. We then returned to the...

As I mentioned in my previous post, my wife and I spent 10 days in Brisbane in January. Most days were wet but there was a bit of sun on one weekend. We decided to take advantage of it and visit the Lamington Plateau with one trip to the Binna Burra area and one trip to the O'Reilly's area...

Hey, Pretty easy but give it a go. SPOT THE HERP! and name it. Cam

Thought it would be a interesting topic for a thread as many of us have them living in our backyards. I never really noticed anythign eating them before untill the grey shrike thrushes arived. not that great to look at a grey colour but thier calls are quite amazing. I now regularly see them...

Howdy all, my clutch of little diamonds are nine weeks old now and I haven't been able to get them to feed. I've tried skink scented pinkies, brained pinkies, tease feeding, leaving the pinkies in with them and all that. Have tried varying the enclosure temps and time of day. Was thinking that...
