The gecko is the thick-tailed gecko (Nephrurus millii or as it used to be called Underwoodisaurus millii – I love that name!). It is an unusual colour form because it comes from an off shore island. I would be happy if people could just say it’s the common old thick-tailed gecko.

[FONT=Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif]Well this beautifull 22 eggs is my clutch of coastal carpet python.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif]What is unusuall about this eggs is that they are much smaller than all the other clutches I do have in incubator at the moment.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif]I think that reason would be that this female had skin blistering problem during the pregnancy and I had to start antibiotic treatment to cure her.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif]Interesting will be if this eggs will hatch and if the hatchies will be healthy . Size of individual egg is about 30 mm long way.[/FONT]

[hogey5]

i havent guesed anything yet i assume i cant just join in aye?

 

[Sdaji]

Out of curiosity, which answer did I get wrong?

You give the common name of "Hooded Scaly-foot", which presumably means you don't recognise Pygopus schraderi or Pygopus steelscotti (these species must also be lumped in with P. nigriceps in order for your distribution answer to be correct as P. nigriceps is absent from many hot arid regions which are inhabited by the other two Hooded Scaly-foots).

Insects make up the bulk of the diet of many Scaly-foots of all species; all readily consume insects and spiders (as well as scorpions and other arthropods).
