Hi all

Wondering if people out there can post pics of their westerns. Want to see the variation from different localities. thanks
 
Hi Scratchy
these are my Western Australia Western Blue-tongues (Tiliqua Occipitalis). I believe the South Australia and more Eastern specimens are darker, usually dark brown on a lighter brown. The Western Australia ones are usually dark brown on a silver/grey base. Either localities can have very narrow white streaks edging the dark brown bands and some white streaks running through the centre of the bands which looks really impressive.

Thanks Tiliqua

They are nice. I'm waiting for some from WA . They look similar to your 2nd last one.
I've noticed WA ones tend to have 5 body bands where as SA ones usually have 4
main bands.

Thanks for that ,getting the idea now. Those SA ones are nicely patterned.
Can you keep them outdoors in Melbourne ?
 
I may have some more this season but like a lot of things I have, they are sold before they are born so you will probably never see them advertised.
 
they are really pretty! and richards are really chubby like alot ive seen theyre lil troopers i love em.
