I've been pretty slow on the forums lately so here are a few photo’s taken from the central west coast in Sept.
Temperatures were still quite low particularly at the final destination of Exmouth.
Elapid activity was very low and the only species photographed was S. littoralis.
Several P. mengdeni were spotted within a period of 20 minutes at Shark Bay but went un-photographed due to midday temps, all those spotted were dark grey to black in colour.
P. australis was found but not photographed in Exmouth.
Overall the trip was still very productive and a number of lerista species targeted were found.
L. macropisthopus.
L. m. fusciceps.
L. lineopunctulata.
L. kendricki.
L. connivens.
Also found was L. allochira but photo’s the pics are terrible even by my standard.
Carrying on with the skink theme is two species of Ctenotus.
C. pantherinus
C. alleni.
And finally a nice example of Cyclodomorphus celatus.
.
Gecko’s being more cold tolerant were more or less the only thing found on the roads at night , but can’t complain as many of them were new to me.
N. levis occidentalis.
D. pulcher.
L. alboguttatum.
Strophurus strophurus.
S. c. aberrans
S. rankini.
Delma australis and D. grayi were both found.
This specimen of D. grayi was found at Shark bay and whilst referencing the field guide later in the day we realized it was significantly North of its distribution.
And the only Agamid for the trip was this pretty little dragon.
C. femoralis.
As we were heading back into Perth the opportunity for some herping was still there and couple of hours in the Gingin area produced.
C. adelaidensis (Oops second Agamid for the trip)
.
Aprasia repens.
L. praepedita.
And just a quick tip for those doing long and quick herp trips If the hot waters not available you can squeeze caffeine hit straight onto your tongue. It’s delicious.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.
