Thanks

Longtom keeps and breeds them. They love the cold. In QLD where ya get them its always up in the ranges. The colder the range the more mullets seem to be there.

Becareful with them, the bloody things will try and take a finger off if they get the chance, and bite hard enough to nearly do the job.

Are they much more robust than blueys or stumps?

 

[danw]

I think so from what I have read.I hope thats right lol.

I think that they are the second largest skink in the world, betten by a soloman island skink. I may be wrong. Anyway a full grown mullet dwarfs any bluey or shingle. they are huge.

Here's another pic.
I have a couple of them living in my backyard, they're way harder to catch then blueys tho :x and they're much stronger to hold.

Oh, and the pic is from Cogger.
