ctenotus robustus

The Grampians are such an underrated place to herp. With close to every single species of temperate victorian skinks confined to the area, it is absolute paradise. I headed up to the area on the easter weekend for a camping trip with a mate, and when we arrived at the camping ground at Lake...

God I love this place, The people are so friendly, and it is just a beautiful place overall. Visiting the market, we bought some delicious homemade jams and relishes and some wood burnt art from a very talented elderly woman. But, I wanted herps, and so far, I have a few, but no photos. I was...

I have never seen anything like this before, There was at least 5 mini tails coming off the main regenerated tail/

Some pictures from the last month or so, ill try to add some story in with them... I went up to Mt Buller in Victoria with my family for a ski trip earlier last month, and after seeing afew thawed out ski runs, I went to investigate. McCoy’s Skink ( Anepischestosia maccoy) by Nick Gale, on...

Haven't seen a herping thread on here for a while now, so here we go. As the temperature here is getting colder I decided I would try to get out as much as I could on my holidays and try to find some species I have never photographed yet around my area. Unfortunately I could only get access to...

Headed up to a very nice spot in Cragieburn and found some cool skink species. There were two main parts to the area, the Merri creek and the grasslands. Around the creek we found some hibernating large-ish skinks Ctenotus robustus by nickgherping, on Flickr This robustus had some nice scars on...

Found this mad guy cruising on the cement outside. I live in Queensland

These are photos from a quick trip out to Broken Hill and Menindee in northwestern New South Wales. These areas are quite a distance from Canberra where I am currently working. I clocked over 3500 kms of driving in 4 days so I spent much of my time behind the steering wheel. As always, though...

Hello all, Its been a while since I was last on here. These eggs were found in woodlands, just north of Melbourne. I am pretty stumped on to what they are from? The only reptiles seen around here are Copperheads, Blue tongues and small Skinks. - - - Updated - - - Anyone?

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...

I've done a little bit of herping this year, in a few different locations. Jellybean pool, Blue mountains Vermicella annulata Phyllurus platurus Diplodactylus vittatus Litoria phyllochroa Toadlet, not 100% sure which one. Scenery Tunnel Gully Reserve, Blue Mountains I found...

I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the flinders ranges and Arkaroola, it wasn't specifically a herping trip but i spent plenty of time looking for them. Sorry for some of the poor skink photography, i find the the Ctenotus species quite difficult to photograph. Morethia boulengeri were...

So I thought I'd post some pictures I've taken over the past 3 weeks herping in Southeast Qld and Sydney Olympic Park. Firstly some Bell Frogs, part of the population in Sydney Olympic Park's Brick Pit. Most people seem to like this frog because of the striking colours, but I honestly find...

went out herping yesterday... mainly to get some better pics of ctenotus robustus. went out on a hotter day (32) and the sun was killing me -.-, and the skinks and jacky dragons were teasing me by running away as soon as they were spotted :P apart from nearly dieing of thirst i was pretty pissed...

These guys turned up this week:D, awesome dragons and check out that huge tail!!

G'day guys, I've seen a few people recently mention that the floods will be devastating to reptile populations - this couldn't be further from the truth. The flood water in SEQ is loaded with debris, and generally only several hundred metres wide as Brisbane is quite hilly. I took these...

Hi Guys, Happy New Year, hope it's a good one for you all. These skinks are quite plentiful in my rather untamed vegie patch and judging by how big and fat some of them are they must be doing the job as far as pest control goes. Can someone ID them for me please? North Burnett region...

I'm heading to north straddy tomorrow for a night and just wondering what herps can be found there, in paticular what skinks can be found on straddy? I know patternless/weakly patterned Ctenotus robustus can be found there, any good spots to see these skinks? Would love to try and snap a few pics

Decided to snap a couple more pics to see if i could get anything half decent of the striped skinks, they are so flighty, still yet to get a decent photo. The night skink on the other hand is much more settled and sits still for pics.

Just wondering, you a basking temp of 41c be suitable for Eastern striped skinks (Ctenotus robustus)?

Got 2 of these little skinks a few days ago, they are only about 1-2months old but already approx garden skink size. Pics aint the best as they are so fast and flighty. Enclosure is a 54l plastic tub with a wooden stack under the basking light and a piece of dead wood at the cool end. Only got...

I'm getting new skinks soon and have a choice of a few species but not too sure what to get. On offer i believe are Carlia vivax, Ctenotus robustus, narrow banded sand swimmers and broad banded sand swimmers. Tell me what you think i should choose and why.

I thought I'd have some fun and post some shots of a snake i recently caught and see who can ID it first. For the newbs, so you hard core seasoned herps with venom in your veins keep it to yourself eh! ok first photo will put another one up tomorrow!

Hi, Does anyone know what type of skink this is? I'm pretty sure its a skink, also it has small claws. sorry the pics arn't that good.

Back in May I decided that I wanted to do something special for my 21st birthday. I wanted it to involve reptiles, something new, and due to my lack of a vehicle it had to be somewhere nearby. I decided that I wanted to climb Mt. Elliot, south of Townsville, in order to look for the riverine...

Found this skink in my dogs mouth. It was still alive and I've seen them around all the time I just have no idea what it is. So before I let it go I took it inside and got a some photos. Just want to know what it is. Thanks
