The pit in my thread "Building a Pit' became very over grown. The other week we decided to give it a makeover. The Grass Tree was a bit sick, I would say due to the humidity and all the rain that we have had. We actually took a match to it and hopefully will come back. Time will tell.
We still...

My Mum decided to take some happy snaps of Marcia the Land Mullet and Baron the King Skink while they were feeding. The cleaver little buggers ended up tipping up the container so that the food would run to the bottom where they could pork out more easily. God i love skinks.

- 1 Egernia Major - escaped down a burrow
- 3 Lampropholis Delicata
- 1 Cryptophis Nigrescens
- 1 Saiphos Equalis
- 1 Limnodynastes Peronii
