I finally got my painteds! I ended up with 4, from two different suppliers. Unfortunately the littlest one died, I suspect the behaviour of the larger ones had something to do with it. I now have 2 females and one male. These guys are nuts, interested in everything, love being sprayed, love...
In late October I saw a number of dragons in southern Eyre Peninsula whose identity isn't clear to me. The first two pictured were in Kellidie Bay Conservation Reserve (by Coffin Bay, west coast of peninsula). The latter two were in Lincoln National Park (east coast of peninsula, but not too far...
Hi all! I came across about half a dozen of these little guys while out on a walk around Port Adelaide today, and am curious about what they are. The closest I can manage with my terrible lizard ID skills is "some sort of Ctenophorus, maybe". :p Any takers?
Spring is finally breaking through (but it's still Antartic conditions for Darwinites) and the herps are coming out. Here's today's pics.

Was wondering if anybody could help me identify this species I managed to snap a good picture of today in Katoomba NSW. Lived here for many years and only in the last few have I seen these guys

Just a few recent shots from 2013 before 2014 starts.
Early this year I went to the mallee with Nick (richoman on this site), matt(python_owner) and a few other guys who aren't on this site (steve and dan).

Well Matt beat me to the APS post on this... but last is always better.
After a riveting day of school Matt and I wasted no time (Maccas is not wasting time!) getting to Little Desert NP
On arriving there we set up our camp, and the tempting calls of banjo frogs nearby lured us to their pond...
Hey all, headed up to the Mallee over Cup weekend with a few mates to see what we could find. We started off at Little Desert, then moved up through Big Desert, and across to Hattah - Kulkyne National Park. Here is some of what we found. Enjoy the photos!
Banjo Frog (Lymnodynastes dumerilii)...
Just thought I'd show off some of the photos i've taken of local, SA herps over the past ten or so years. I am not a photographer - don't expect perfect photos. This is by far, not everything I have seen but these show some of the animals where I managed to have a camera (not a great one I might...
me and a chicken made our way to Mungo National Park last week.
Sitting in the car on the way got boring so we decided to open the windows and jump out in bendigo.
With perfect landing we stumbled across this disgusting creature.

Hi everyone, just finished a trip up to Mungo national park for 3 days.
It was about an 8 hour drive from melbourne, the first night we stopped in Hattah NP for 1 night, which is 1 hour south of Mildura.
Overall it was a good experience, i went with Richoman_3 (nick) on here.
Once again...

So just across from the house in amongst all the shrubs/bushes, which are a few metres from the ocean. There are a few what appear to be Bynoe's Geckos.
Most are a goldy colour with black stripes across the top.

I've had an adult pair of painted dragons for about 6 months now.

They are housed in a 900 by 600 by 600 melamine enclosure, the substrate is coarse sand, the ambient temperature is 29 degrees with a hot spot at around 34 degrees.

thanks in advance :)

Come show off your dragons :)
I picked these 2 beardies up on Friday night, there still settling down and getting use to there surroundings but seem to be going great..
Has anyone tried feeding colour feed to your reptiles??
Can you safely enhance reptile colours with natural colour feeds such as asthaxanthin?
Its commonly used as a colour enhancer in fish foods and acts as a natural anti-oxident for other pet foods.
Cheers

Just wondering how far you guys have ever traveled to pick-up one of your scaly friends. Personally the furthest I have ever driven is to Yass, NSW, we were planing to drive to Tamworth from Sydney but the seller lost contact. Anyway, who ever has traveled the furthest for a reptile wins!
