Anyone know how to sex Cunningham's by looks? I heard there is a neck length difference? Or is probing the only way?

Hi,
I was at Healesville sanctuary the other day, and saw this large skink lying next to a blue tongue. I'm quite puzzled as to what it is, because it's not a blue tongue and I'm fairly sure its not a shingle-back/stumpy tail either because of the scales.
Thanks for the help!
Sunday was 39 deg. so thought it would be a good day to go herping.
started the day at Anakie Gorge as the You Yangs didnt open till 8. probably should have stayed there longer as i found that the You Yangs was too busy and had a lot less wild life.
Highlight would have to be seeing my first...
These are just some of this seasons finds around melbourne and its surounds
Unfortunately didn't get any good pics of copper heads and tiger snakes although
I did see a few. And still haven't encoutered a white lipped snake to photograph.
Enjoy, Akash

Hi all, I've recently acquired an adult pair of Cunningham's skinks and everything is going great, one is very friendly and enjoys coming out of the cage everyday for a bit of exploring whilst the other is still very shy and retreats at the the first sign of movement but is showing signs of...
I'd like to hear from keepers of this species, about natural foods for them... In books and Internet pages I've looked at it duznt really go into great detail about their natural foods....
says fruits, berries, flowers blah blah but can't see any specific names with these items....
Cheers, Brad.
This is all hypothetical but a possibility in the future.
I have read often and seen in shops, beardies and shinglebacks being kept quite happily together.
If I were to do this someday (no hate please) how would you recommend heating and lighting them.
Would I be able to keep 1 of each species...
It's no surprise to anyone that has seen some of WA's wheat belt stimi's or Boodarie red womas, that we have amazing Egernia as well.
This is a breeding project from the lads at Reptile Mania in WA.
Hi,
I have Eastern Blue Tongues and a Cunningham skink in a 6ft enclosure with plenty of room still, and an outdoor pit for them during the warmer days. I have been looking at Central Netted Dragons I think they look really cool but unsure about how compatible they can be with my current lizards...
I have a 10 year old Cunningham skink he's 10 years old, still quite active. There appears to be nothing wrong with him, he's active and he appears well and his look and behaviour are as always, but he wont eat. Ive tried changing his diet, but it makes no difference, he seems to have lost...
I recently had a week break from work so decided to visit a couple of my favourite areas in the eastern deserts. The first destination was the Lake Eyre Basin near Winton in central western Queensland. This is one of the relatively close places for me to herp but it was a 26 hour drive from my...

I'm just wondering if any keepers/biologists have observed seasonal colour change in individual Egernia cunninghami? I have a resident adult male "Scaleyback" (Northwest slopes form) Egernia cunninghami that I've been observing for the last four years and it definitely changes colour from rich...
This was raised on an international forum so I thought I would bring the question over here.

I have bought myself a large setup that will suit 2 lizards. I wanted 2 Western Bearded Dragons. But when little (as you all know) they can not be sexed. The odds of me buying 2 females is the same as buying a male and a female, so i dont want to take the risk.
My question is: Could i have a...
Well over the past few months I've been doing a fair bit of herping over lots of NSW and taken a fair few photos. I thought I'd culminate it all into one thread as it makes it a nice larger thread. Lots of the stuff I saw I didn't photograph being time sensitive and it being stuff I had seen or...

Hi all
After some advice from Cunninghams Skink keepers. I have a pair bought at the Newcastle Reptile Expo this year, so around a year old (or a bit less). Both are growing well and feed voraciously! However, they are both pretty flighty - not to mention quick and quite bitey...and therefore...

Last year when my little Stimson's python hurt himself, I took him to a reptile vet who seemed extremely surprised at how old he was (12 years old). He kept saying that generally you didn't see snakes that old. I was under the impression that pythons generally live to around the 20 year mark (as...
