Ok here are the clues:
Its a lizard
Found in WA
Insectivorous
Constantly there is threads popping up with people asking whats the best reptile to get first.. In my opinion you should get what you want.. Do your research and be prepared with what the future may hold. If you want a GTP get one or if you want a Perentie get one lol maybe the Perentie comment...

Will we ever be able to keep exotic reptiles in Australia? Is there hope or is it something that will never happen? A lot of other exotic animals are allowed to be imported into Australia, as long as quarantine regulations are followed, for example cats can be imported, they are devastating to...

Hi Guys no doubt most of you have heard that/had a chance to review the DSE's recently released RIS (Regulatory Impact Statement). It is a utter disappointment that the submissions for new gecko species: Nephrurus wheeleri, Oedura filicipoda, Saltuarius cornutus and Carphodactylus laevis have...

Has anyone heard if RA Issue 3 has gone to print as promised the week before last . If so, it should be in subscribers hands now. As ex-editor I'm following the progress of this publication very closely, and I'm keen to know if subscribers will get their value for money.

Trying out a few DIY projects recently, came up with this one, love it! Initial prototype the magnets weren't strong enough but I got new magnets in the mail today so I could have another one done up with the stronger magnets this week to try out.

After Tully, we headed to the Atherton Tablelands. We spend three nights there, during which time we saw a ton of stuff. We went to:

To all APS members who have just recently got into reptiles,
What is the reptile you would like to own in the future most of all, the reptile you want most?
What is your dream reptile? Mine is.....................an Olive Python. :D Whats yours?

My wife and I also spent a couple of nights at Daintree, QLD, before returning to Wollongong. We stayed at the Red Mill House B&B, a place that I would highly recommend for people visiting the area. The owners know a great deal about the local wildlife including reptiles. Sometimes, they see...
My wife and I spent a few days in the Atherton Tablelands. Unfortunately, it was cool with a steady drizzle for the first couple of days so it was definitely not good reptile weather. The tablelands are much cooler than the coast. Long ago, much of the tablelands was covered with rainforest...
Hey there.
Just thought it would be a bit of fun to see what kinds of reptiles and amphibians you would do just about anything to keep. If money, geography and space were no factors, what kinds of reptiles make you burn inside knowing that you will probably never own one?

hello children,
Today I got back from my second trip from Dubbo zoo (and for those who live in the area...that was insane weather yesterday afternoon!) and at the gift shop I bought a small book on reptiles in Australia that's quite interesting and they had a kind of gecko in it called the...

Went for a drive in the night this week as the weather is getting nice and hot. We saw 3 pythons ,4 Geckos and numerous small snakes . Was great. I think one of the Geckos pictured is a Chamealeon Gecko { spelling } so was nice to see that. Can anyone tell me what the small sort of golden...
Hello everyone....
Well I'm lucky enough to be going up to the Daintree for 5 days as part of my Honeymoon (woohoo) and I was wondering whether anyone could shed some light on some must do's while we are up there?
We are staying at a private cottage at Cow Bay and we have a small Suzuki...
I know this question is probably asked alot but im new, so humour me...
mine is probably a salty or perentie or maybe even woma or Ingrams brown... there is so many to choose from!
I know this thread is useless but im bored and it would be interesting to see what Geckos people would love to have that are not yet in captivity.
I have listed several geckos that are not yet kept in captivity. Only choose one and then we can see what all the different Gecko lovers would...
Hey everyone,
If you could get three different species of reptiles for xmas apart from a gtp, what would it be?
I'll start off,
1. Olive python :)
2.BHP
3. Water python
With all the talk lately about how boring gtps are, I was wondering if people could have any NATIVE reptile they wanted, how many of us would actually get a gtp? And IF you could have any EXOTIC, what would it be?
I'll kick-start it...
Native - a shingleback. The first (and only :( ) time...

Any guesses to which species?
