At the Scales and Tales reptile expo I got a 8 month old pink tongued skink now named pinky. I also got a can of snails for her, however last night when I feed her I put a pinkie mouse in with the snails and to my amazement she ignored the snails an reached right into the middle of the plate to...

Since arriving in Australia 4 months ago, I've had the chance to spend a lot of time herping in and around SE Queensland, and have been lucky enough to be shown some fantastic spots by a mate local to the area. Our time is coming to an end in this area, as we're heading north to Cairns for Xmas...

Well while you haven't seen a hundred threads, that doesn't mean I haven't been out frantically herping every night since my last thread. I've finally gotten some pictures of some snakes and a dodgy shot of a leaftail which I promised myself I would get before making this thread.
So here we go...
We found this lizard out the back a few days ago, minor birds were attacking him so we moved him to safer ground. At first it looked like a blue tongue but the tongue is clearly not blue. I'm more of a snake person so I couldn't really tell. Any ideas?
Hi to all, brand new at this, have 1 Pink Tongue skink 4 years old and 1 Coastal Carpet7 year old male.

I noticed a while ago that on all the foreign forums, species that we refer to as Underwoodisaurus are classed as Nephrurus in other countries. I've had this debate with keepers overseas many times and I am always told that Underwoodisaurus that were once known as Nephrurus and briefly Phyllurus...
Hey guys and girls got my thinking about snake bites
I really dislike the people that brag about getting bitten by a snake eg 'ohh I have been bitten by a snake it's dosent hurt it feels like a pin' by the way I'm not referring to anyone on this site referring to my friends and it's only a baby...
I know theres a "show us your skinks" thread but it doesnt have many pink tongues on there, and as far as I know there isnt a "show us your" thread for these guys.
I thought I'd make one because they are so variable in colour and pattern and I'd love to see whats out there!
the Red Line of Misspelling comes up?
your having a great time with someone alone and then someone else comes in. UGH
You open a can of soup, and the lid falls in.
anyone else?? hates??
Please everyone i need suggestions for reptiles (not snakes) (maybe amphibians?) That could live together in a big complex (not in same enclosure) and does anyone have any ideas where i could get a caging complex (like enclosures [different sizes] stacked together?) Thankyou! :)

Hi I would like a pink tongue skink, preferably an adult. I wont be able to pick it up until July, so I would like it if someobody could keep it on hold for me until then, I'll pay now. I will pick up anywhere in SE QLD.
PM me :)
I'm moving to Townsville in a couple of weeks and was trying to find a link or something that outlines what pythons I can keep in QLD on a standard licence. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry about this. I know it's one of those dumb questions everyone hates...
But I have a 90cmx35cmx45cm (roughly) tank. Can a pink tongue skink live in that for it's whole life?
And until what age can a blue tongue live in there?
Got these 2 cuties yesterday. will be getting a few more in the near future hopefully. Cage is a bit bare, will be adding a bit of fake foliage for them to hide in and to green it up.

Hi guys, can you give me some tips for road herping on the Sunshine coast? What roads should we look on? Day or night?
Ive driven on loads of roads on the sunshine coast day and night and have only ever seen a few toads and a Eastern Water Dragon (it ran across the road and got hit by a car :( )
Hi my birthdays in July and I am planning to get a pink tongue! Just some questions:
Are they ok to handle?
Who here breeds them?
What do you feed them exactly? (some care sheets just say snails)
Can you keep more than one in the same tank?
Am I better off just getting a blue tongue as a...

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!
