Yesterday I headed up to Central Vic with a mate in order to look for Delma inornata - the olive delma.
We headed out early in the morning, it was nearly negative degrees in Bendigo when I checked the weather app!.
Around 10 we arrived at a spot about 2 hours North of Melbourne, where I was keen...
Some more herping pics - who could have guessed it!

I agree with @BredliFreak for the Delmas, and I personally would love to see some more Pygopus. The common scaly-foot, especially with the variety of colours it can be, is gorgeous and would make a very interesting animal to own ("thrives on banana in captivity" -Cogger 2014). Also think...
Hi all,
Just got back from a delma impar tile site (Endangered in ACT, is the last known pop but being moved to Scottsdale for a caravan park ;( ) and I found one!!! No photos, the photographer was in the car listening to music when I found it :rolleyes: and also a plain delma (maybe texty but...

We all see these news stories of cats killing snakes and saving the day.. Then you get your crazy cat people defending the feral animals... here is a pic that will really get them going :)
Headed to a couple of spots this afternoon and found two of Melbourne's endangered herps.
A very cool little Delma, super cute and super squeaky!

Show off your uncommonly kept or rare herps, or rare/interesting things you have found. Pics are wanted, but if you can give me evidence of rare stuff you have seen without pics then that is OK too.
One of mine (well, my brother found it):
Masked rock skink (Liopholis margaretae margaretae)...
I cannot find the Field Herping subforum or whatever so i suppose ill just throw this in here?
But anyway, here are some pics from April to about last weekend, which includes trips around my area and around Melbourne, some NSW herps, some North Vic finds, some Grampians Geckos, Some frogs from...
Haven't posted for a while here but here are some recent reptiles and amphibians I have found back from autumn to now
These southern toadlets were found back in autumn and showed quite a bit of variation in color and pattern. Southern toadlets don't spawn in water instead lay their eggs in...
Some recent photos I have taken in the last month or so.
These shots are in no way sensational :P
Delma impar- which is an endangered species.
Awesome things!

Me and a good mate went down to the organ pipes for a good half day of looking for some reps.
I am a horrible photographer so please forgive me :oops:, I also didn't take too many pics.
We stumbled onto this creature baked on the path, so we stuck him in the vegetation for a nice picture. We...

I did see a few. And still haven't encoutered a white lipped snake to photograph.
Enjoy, Akash

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...
There wasn't any school today so I went herping on the basalt plains hoping for striped legless lizards, I found what I was looking for and much more. I found loads of marbled geckos, marsh frogs and little whip snakes, I also found quite a large blue tounge, a bougainville skink, a robust...
Given I've been enjoying some recent posts here I think it's about time I share as well. I moved from Melbourne to Adelaide for study and since moving I've had a whole new suite of animals to find. In this thread I'll post a series of short trips over the next week or so, so keep an eye on this...
These animals have all been found over the last 3 months. The herping in the Perth area is fairly hard going over the winter months and a lot of hours were put in, it's still quite rewarding with many species being firsts for me including all of the frogs.

I am currently down in Vic to see the family and celebrate my sisters 21st. since its been a few years i decided i'd best make the most of it and find some herps!
Thankfully i was able to be shown around to see some herps and i was more than excited by what i have found the past 3 days. as i've...
Gday,
Was out the back today cleaning up and came across a very small snake no bigger than 10cm. I picked it up with a pair of tongues and it started making a squeakey noise. Which shocked me. I at first thought it was a whip snake due to size i am guessing it was to small for brown snake so...
