    Any info on King Skinks

    I've brought 4 of these guys about 4 months old - there is hardly any info on the net - I have the hot spot at 34c - got some good info on what to feed them - I haven't seen hides mentioned but they sure seem to like having one and it seems essential - they are good feeders but concerned they...

    Show us your Bobtails (Tiliqua rugosa)!

    The title says it all. Show us your Bobtails or Shinglebacks or Sleepy/Lazy/Pine-cone Lizards (phew, this lizard has quite a few names)! I actually know some people who call them goana. But more specifically, the scientific name, Tiliqua rugosa. A few people I know think they're ugly, but these...

    Egernia Kingii eating chicks?

    Hi All, I am missing a few newly hatched chicks. When I just went out to see what the commotion was and a King Skink came shooting out of the chook pen. Would a day old chicken be in the prey range for an adult King Skink? Wikipedia says not what they would normally eat, but I thought you...

    I was on Rottnest Island on the weekend and managed to get some photos of this cool skink. I figured it was an Egernia kingii - any other suggestions? I mangaged to get a photo with a 600ml bottle of Dare coffee for size reference of one of the specimens (and no it wasn't mine!) As you can...

    No Grinner in WA :-(

    My husband and I are moving to WA, but I have just been told by Domestic Quarantine that my Bredli Python, Grinner, isn't allowed into WA. Is this right? Is there no way that I can bring my much loved pet into WA? The man on the phone told me "Well atleast you know now and have time to give him...

    "King Skink Attacks Hopeless Dugite"

    Anyone who likes skinks, will enjoy these videos. Probably the most interesting reptile video ive seen. While on the topic of King skinks, what do juveniles normally sell for on the east coast? Or are they mostly traded/hoarded by the Egernia (or what ever genus they are in these days)...

    Dryandra Woodlands, WA (warning: may contain traces of mammals)

    At the end of October I went over to the TDWG (the international organisation for biodiversity information standards) 2008 conference. The conference was a great success and a fantastic networking opportunity. There was, however, a distinct lack of reptiles at the conference. So at the end of...

    Carnac Island, WA

    Carnac is a small island off the coast of Perth in WA. We took a mates boat out for a quick herp and some fishing in late March. The island is well known for its dense Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus) population so we were hoping to find a few. We beached the boat on the island just before lunch...

    I need some advice

    So now i've got a King's Skink. It's a magnificent, HUGE animal. I had to rescue him (don't be alarmed, I'm now doing volunteer work for CALM as a wildlife carer and i've been issued with a license to do this) because he was injured and had obviously been in a fight of some kind; he is missing...
