When I was a kid growing up in NSW we used to have a colony of approx 10 of them just in front of the chook pen, I remember trying to catch them all the time :lol:

they used to bask together regularly, however there 'nest' was in a large pile of sticks and fallen timber so there was plenty of opportunities for them to remain seperated at the best of times.

I still have memories of me as a 5yr old trying to use dads landing net with some raw mince on top to pick them up..........had a bloody hole in it, then they were smart enough to crawl underneath and eat it from the bottom, good times, always been one of my favourite skinks

I know the Cunninghams was only mentioned right at the beginning of this thread, but I'm from near Brisbane in QLD, and my dad nearly killed one with his shovel while gardening! He brought it straight over and we had no idea what is was, so we searched and searched through our reptile books and finally found it. Obviously NOT a local breed so we were amazed when we found out what it was. And I just have to say, I have never seen any lizard bend a spoon the way it did, I'm glad it wasn't my finger! So you're crazy for keeping them, haha! Do these land mullets you have, have a strong bite as well?
