They are southern form blotched tiliqua nigrolutea, ugly (funky looking) drab colouration kel.

Anyone with pics of the blueys in Tassie?

Jordo- there's an article by a guy near Launceston in the latest Australian Reptiles about breeding blueys outdoors in Tassie. Nice looking blotchies he's got. There's she-oak skinks too- they look pretty cool, but I don't know much about them.

Technically it's not Tasmainia, but the below Bluie is from Flinders Island.

Cheers, yeah I forgot about that article, so they don't really look that different from the mainland blotchies.

No, not that I can tell. I'm looking to move to Tassie in the next few years and am a bit heartbroken at having to reduce my herp collection to frogs and blueys.... :-(
