Awesome find

 

[Gibblore]

Is it Egernia cunninghami or an highly patterned Egernia mcpheei ? out of interest

Hey Mate, To be honest I'm not 100% sure but there's a fair stack of Cunninghams down here, Just check the trusty Wilson/Swan guide and looks like McPheei is not found here.

 

[Gibblore]

I was leaning towards the Cunninghams but wanted to make you get up from the computer lol

Nice find, did he bolt?

No, I got within 6 feet didn't even flinch But they tend to be like that form the one's I have seen, but you get to close and Bazinga they're gone just like that.

To my amazement he's still there, I just went out with some crix and feeding tweezers and got right up to him and even put the crix on his mouth. Hope he hangs around.

He's a nice one with that heavy white patterning. The ones I see up here are a little redder and less white, I think I like that really white a tad better,

 

[Smithers]

Hey GP, He's a little whiter then the usual units I see down here. I'm shocked I got so close.

P.S. He didn't eat from me.

These below are from late last yr bout half hour from here. Sorry for quality I had the iso setting way up for previous shoot and forgot it was still on that high hence all the digital noise.

Great find! Almost certainly E. cunninghami, but can we get better head and whole tail shots please? According to Cogger, E. cunninghami tails should be more or less cylindrical and about as long as the body. E. mcphee is not located near Canberra

 

[eipper]

There is no doubt at all it is 100% Egernia cunninghami......if people have doubt with this one they should refrain from iding east coast herps

Cheers,
Scott
