Thought I would share the herps I've found and photographed since the weather has started warming up, been noticing them emerging since early September but conditions are still not optimum at the moment, I would like less rain and more heat personally!!
I'll post images of order found and supply any info regarding pictures above the picture.
Cheers,
Baxter..
1st herp of the season, Eastern Bearded Dragon - Pogona barbata
Found entering our property near Singleton.
Eastern Water Dragon - Physignathus lesueurii
These guys are plentiful on our property but are very flighty making them a hard species to get good shots of!
Broad Palmed Frog - Litoria latopalmata
I find plenty of these on the property although this one was the first decent sized one I've found, measuring around 50mm SVL.
Red-bellied Black Snake - Pseudechis porphyriacus
This guy disturbed me whilst working in my shed, could not get him outside for better shots unfortunately, saw him two days later trying to get into my rodent shed. Not as good looking as one I saw the week before as it had lots of skin worms and ticks, length was probably just shy of 5ft.
Next series of pictures are from a night of testing a new torch, all pictures are taken around the creek that flows through the backyard, or on plants around our house.
Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog - Litoria fallax
Stoney Creek Frog - Litoria wilcoxi
and finally some type of trap door spider that would not come back out for a photo!
Eastern Brown Snake - Pseudonaja textilis
This brown was in my front garden and measured just shy of 6ft, it was found 10 minutes after the RBBS tried to get into my rat room.
Unfortunately pictures contain fluff from my dogs bed that they decided to rip up!
The next series is from a night trip we did to the mid-north coast of NSW, the rain would not let up and temperatures were cool so we did not find the species we were after but did find some cool herps all the same!
Small-eyed Snake - Cryptophis nigrescens
Did not have the camera set up right before this little one was found so did not get the greatest shot.
Flat Rock Spider
Red-eyed Tree Frog - Litoria chloris
Tyler's Tree Frog - Litoria tyleri
Huntsman
and last but not least..
Northern Leaf-tailed Gecko - Saltuarius moritzi
