Hey I've got a cunninghams skink that was recently injured from a burn. I just wanted to ask if others have had situations where these skinks regrew skin and limbs and etc and would like to talk about their experiences?
Hi all,
So basically, a few changes have occurred. We might not be moving at all (whoo) or be moving to a smaller house than we thought. This means that sadly, and olive python may not be a realisable goal as of now.
So I'm seizing the opportunity for lizards. I'm looking for something that:
-...
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)...
2014 has been reasonably good to me so far in regards to the herping trips I have been on. I just wanted to show some of them off... although I'm quite the dreadful photographer. Regardless, here they are.
Lucasium damaeum - beaded gecko.
Nephrurus deleani - Pernatty knob-tailed gecko...
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...
Hey everyone.
I am making this thread to upload photos of each time I go herping in my local area; Broken Hill.
I had a few good photos from a year ago, though not sure if I made a post for them as my laptop died recently, so lost a few photos.
A few landscape photos from the past couple...
Well last Tuesday night after watching some epic cricket, matthew (pythonwner or some boring name like that on here) got ready to get up at 4am to get a flight to Adelaide.
Arriving at Adelaide we met up with JP from QLD and waited for shawn (rocket) to pick us up. We went to his house and saw...
Last year I looked for snakes and lizards.
I found some.

So a little while ago I finished all my Uni exams for the year and my mother decided this meant we should visit the family in Adelaide. Since I'm such a keen herper I convinced her the best way to do this would be to drive from Newcastle to Broken Hill, and then down from there to Adelaide. This...
I have seen some beautiful photo's on here recently. I am getting into photography more and more and would love some tips of some one is willing to give them to me. Also if people could post osme more great pics of their snakes that would be great!
First one is a RBB and second a pain in the...

I am trying to find information online on a definitive way to determine the sex of Egernia stokesii. The only methods I have found are:
- Introduce them and see what happens, but seeing as I currently only have one, that is difficult and also it can leave to casualties which I don't really want...
just wondering if anyone would be interested in divulging what they may be selling at the penrith expo on the 15th? just want a heads up as to how much money i should be bringing with me! thanks.
Hello all,
I have been a member on here a while but never posted anything. My names Tom, I'm 20 and live in England. I am currently studying for a degree in Zoology at Royal Holloway University of London, and in my spare time I keep reptiles.
My main interest lies in Australian Skinks...

:-)
I know it's a long shot.....
I am STILL searching for a female Gidgee Skink in Melbourne, or west of.
I have a male who has been on his own for many years and I'd love to find company for him.
Cheers!
Wanted to buy now... cash buyer.
Egernia Stokesii singles, pair, or small colony.
Experienced keeper.
**Would the member from Melbourne who recently had a pair available contact me again via PM please! I am now in a position to buy.**
What large skinks can go together?
As in, could I put an Egernia Stokesii, a tiliqua scincoides, and an Egernia Cunninghami together?
Also, would they drink/bathe in a big enough waterfall?

I recently headed out to Broken Hill for a friend's wedding, but I took the opportunity to go out and do a bit of herping while I was at it.
Going with some mates out to see the sculptures in the Living Desert NP. While we were there it was pleasantly clear and warm and a few herps came out...
