G'day zulu,

That Blotchy is something else mate! She's one of the best I've seen.

I have a litter of last years Bluey's outside too, and when they first went out they turned feral for about a month...they would run and hide if you got anywhere near the enclosure. They calmed down eventually, and now they bask out in the open, even ignoring our chicken that sits on top of their enclosure desperately trying to get in. There's 4 Cunninghams outside too, never see the buggers though. I keep getting worried that they'd escaped so I pull the enclosure apart but they are all there.

Thanks jonno,thats a baby lizard that ide sold and then got the opportunity to get back,ive got others that colour but the blotches are narrower.Yeh jonno i put young alpines and easterns in the outside enclosure and your right they turn feral and dont come out much,not as bad as Bob Whitheys landmullet :lol: i call him the pitanjarra name "The Ghost that runs quick on four legs bra" he has more hangouts than a damd drug dealer!

Nothing beats a sheet of corrogated iron for the Blueys to go under, hey zulu?

Its just what i had available quick when i built the cage nick,it heats up way too hot in summer you can fry an egg on it,havent had the heat problem this year with all the rain.Last year when it was hot you could see the alpine females stressing trying to find cool spot on hot days so ive let the grass grow long.

I have a sheet of corrogated iron underneath a shelter in the aviary so it's always in the shade.

re Blotched

Yes nick it needs shade the tin,gets way hot,shade cloth like you use on your python setups would be good for some of my enclosure also
