When I was looking into the rainforest earlier today, I saw a reptilian head emerge from behind a rock. I gasped in excitement and watched, thinking it could be my first sighting of a Far North Queensland snake, but it was only a lizard. Not that that's not exciting, of course! It was a...

We left Charters Towers and headed back to the coast and up to Tully. We arrive mid-afternoon, and went for a short walk to see what we could see. Down by the river I saw a little head peeking out of a hole in a tree stump. I waited patiently for the body to emerge. Saproscincus sp...

I think it's a Cunningham's Skink but it should be called a Lucky skink from the look of it. Seemed happy enough when I put it down again Ted

Hi, I'm on the look out to get a colony (4 or 5) of Egernia's ie depressa,stokesii, hosmeri or cunninghams (New England form). A clutch brood would be a good way to start a colony but if any one has older individuals that live amicably together that would be fine too. Bob
