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...
Some pictures from herping and random adventures over the past while I guess. Done a bit of stuff here and there and photos some places and what not.
Post is somewhat lengthy already so not much info with each picture. If you want a bit more follow the flickr link and most have a more lengthy...

What reptile is pictured on Page 485?
Ok so I went herping with Stephen around Coffs harbour and north of it. I had a great time and found many new species which pleased me. The last few shots are from around the hunter valley after we came back. The quality of my shots will vary because I was borrowing different equipment at...
Just thought I'd post some pics of my romantic weekend away herping and birding :)
Since my herping skills are limited to the animals I trip over, I didn't really find much to be proud of. But I ran into a friendly RBB, a small GTS, and some skinks that I don't know anything about (maybe...
Hello, My Name is Felix. Im a semi-experienced aquarist wanting to look into herptology:D
I'm intent on Hypsilurus spinipes as a first lizard, but first would like to observe them in wild.
Going to lamington national park this weekend, any spotting tips?
Thanks!
SCINCIDAE -- Skinks (Continued)
This post will include photos of skinks only. It is the third of a series of four posts.
EREMIASCINCUS -- "Sand-swimmers". A genus of 2 skinks that are widespread in the interior. They have glossy scales and are excellent burrowers.

The other weekend I went up to the Lamington Plateau with a friend of mine. We were hoping to find a bunch of Coeranoscincus reticulatus (after my extraordinary luck with them last time). Sadly, no coeranoscincids were to be found. But we did see a bunch of other stuff...
Just some pics from a quick frogging trip through northern NSW. Conditions wern't that great surprisingly and despite the heavy rains most sites were fairly dry and cold. Still got a variety of herps however:
Frogs:
Assa darlingtoni
Adelotus brevis
Crinia parinsignifera
Crinia signifera...
As I mentioned in my previous post, my wife and I spent 10 days in Brisbane in January. Most days were wet but there was a bit of sun on one weekend. We decided to take advantage of it and visit the Lamington Plateau with one trip to the Binna Burra area and one trip to the O'Reilly's area...
I’ll try this for a second time, considering the first time I tried, my post failed as I clicked Submit :(
All wild shots are taken in-situ.
Saproscincus challengeri
These little guys are very common at Lamington NP, but also quite cryptic. They are usually only found when movement gives...
