    Lizard fighting?

    Hey guys, I'm new here but I've been keeping snakes and lizards a while now. About two years ago I bought a python in a suburb west of Melbourne. It was being cared for after a rescue from a neglectful owner. The new owner had a couple of other reptiles in the house as well, including some very...

    A Change of Plans

    Hi all, So basically, a few changes have occurred. We might not be moving at all (whoo) or be moving to a smaller house than we thought. This means that sadly, and olive python may not be a realisable goal as of now. So I'm seizing the opportunity for lizards. I'm looking for something that: -...

    Strange Guichenoti???

    I was dog sitting at a mates place, when I came across a strange looking garden skink. I know there are Grass skinks (L. guichenoti) and Eastern Blue tongued skinks in their backyard but this one was different. It looked like a Grass skink except it was larger and more robust. It had the same...

    crocdoc vs ianinoz

    Remember this thread:- https://aussiepythons.com/forum/showthread.php/170641-Wild-Monitor/page2? ? That was possibly some of the most entertaining reading I have ever had on here. Second to that would have been the thread about "Lizzie" the EWS. I wonder what that crazy cat ianinoz is up to now.

    feeding live foods

    hi guys, so we all know some times we have to make the decision to feed a live rodent to save the life of a reptile. (I have never done it my self) I have always thought it was legal but just not ethical. I agree 100% if it will save the reptiles life then it should be done. Is there any...

    Backyard Skink ID

    I have read a lot about the Lampropholis guichenoti and the Lampropholis delicata but I still can't seem to tell the two apart. I would be greatly appreciative to anyone who can tell me the ID features of these two common skink species and the easiest ways to tell them apart. I have attached two...

    Dragons

    Ok, besides beardies, water dragons, netteds, frillies, and the forest dragons, what other dragons do you breed? We do red-barred, painted and jacky. Curious to know what others have.

    Skink ID

    Hello herp lovers! I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to ID what is most likely a very simple ID for anyone who knows skinks. Location: North West Sydney suburban garden. Sorry about the quality, I've only got a point-and-click camera. Hopefully it's good enough. Thanks!

    Mount Warning Skink - ID please.

    This skink is about one and a half times the size of Lampropholis delicata. The red mark behind the forelegs appears to be a natural coloration, and not an injury. The lizard is in the sub-tropical rainforest at Mount Warning, NSW. Please identify.
