lampropholis delicata

Yesterday I caught a garden skink and put it in my female knob tail enclosure. She ate the skink in an instant. I didnt know this was illegal until I read another post on this forum. Is there any bacteria in these lizards? Will eating lizards make her healthier? She is gravid again, so...

Hi there,just wondering if their are any bugs or insects that are found around the home/garden that are a definite no-go for feeding a bearded dragon (apart from making sure the bugs/insects are not sprayed with poison). Do many of you feed your bearded dragons using stuff found in your garden etc?

Well the title isn't quite true, 1 from tonight, 1 from last monday night. Wont post any other pics as iv posted all the same species enough times. Tonght was one of the coldest crap nights we have had in a long time, yet i found my target species, a Bandy Bandy, yes, I know they are common...

i was just outside having a beer in the sun and this thing ran past me sorry about the bad photos

This has been a good year so far for finding reptiles in Wollongong. Overall, the weather has been cool and fairly wet, but there have been enough warm days mixed in to bring out the snakes and lizards. Here are a few shots of Wollongong and the surrounding areas where I search. Wollongong...

Just found this guy in my backyard, he was cruising around stirring my dogs up. He was about 5ft long and probably looking for a free feed from my rats. How cool is it to find a python in north Brisbane.

Hi! Dont know of any beardies in my area but could I catch and keep Blue Tongue lizards (Legally),? because theres heaps where i live If I cant thats okay, i'll buy from a petstore/breeder or whatever but the thought was just crossing my mind.

I just found a heavily gravid garden skink that my cat was meowing at through our living room window (the cat was inside with me). She's massive with eggs and seemed stunned when I got to her. As she's not moving around very well I'm reluctant to put her back into the yard. Any suggestions...

There is a new ad on Hreptrader for GTPs, which states that the male is a pure Ausie (which it is ... and a nice one!) and the female is from Hemens' line. This female is most certainly not a native. Since Hemens' latest lines are all native, it may give the impression (to the inexperienced)...

3 foot tank, got rid of the fish want something new, any ideas...

he was found at my house nearly drowned in the pool.I have no idea of what he is? He was bigger than your average garden skink with a very long tail!:D:D:D:D:DSorry about the blurry pics.....................Had to use my mum's camera with only 1 hand(bcause of lizard)!;):rolleyes::):P:)...

Just got back from Jourama Falls - Its a beautiful spot to visit. There was not too much wildlife but I did manage to spot these guys - Hope you like them. Nat

Hi We got an adult stimpsons python (about 4 yrs old apparently) and we've had him since May 08. He had a big feed in the store the week we bought him, and when he got home he did a nice big poo and settled into his new enclosure. That was almost 6 months ago, and he hasn't eaten anything...

here are some shots I took when I went herping with Luke (luke1) I stayed down there for 2 nights and we went to the local national park and around a few other bush areas for a look around. we found lampropholis delicata, lampropholis guichenoti, water skinks, copper tailed skinks, diamond...

heya I found a massive colony of these garden skinks in my yard and i was wondering if there able to be cought, bred and used as food? for bearded dragons or is this over mean?? do they carry bacteria or diseases that will transmit to my dragons??

Hi, Ive been searching google looking at pictures of garden skinks and eastern water skinks and have became interested in them. We have garden skinks in our back yard and water skinks down the river. I was wondering how easy it is to buy a couple? Also whats the price for 1 individual...

hey all! today is the first day of many that i will be running around Kuringai chase NP trying to find reptiles...so this should be updated almost daily unless i got to the beach or somewhere else as to when i can't go herping in the park! anyway today i went with Riley on this forum and we...

dose anybody know how to tell the difference in gender of the common garden skink???

Hey guys, just thought I would share a few of my pics from a quick trip down to Jervis Bay I made with some friends. Didn't get any rain but the ponds and swamps had water in them so we were lucky enough to find a few frogs. Several skink species around especially water skinks. Brown Snakes were...

Well it was a lovely 31*c today on the Sunshine Coast! So had to go for a herp in my new surroundings, never seen such an abundance of lizards, mainly Water Skinks and Water Dragons (Water Dragons bolting in every direction with every foot step you take, i love it!) sorry they were too quick for...

I guess it is Spring, I found this fella in a local park.

This topic comes up a fair bit and it's a pretty typical case of everyone having a firm belief without any empirical evidence, so I'm doing some preliminary trials. For those unfamiliar with the debate, most people assume that snakes which naturally eat whole animals need to do so in...

August is the final month of winter in the Wollongong area. By the middle of the month, many plants in the heath habitats have commenced flowering. In another 2 or 3 weeks, the heath will be a blaze of colour. Some of the smaller skinks have begun to emerge when the days are mild and sunny...

Just some other pictures of amorous animals, lol. Can someone please inform me of the exact species pictured here?

can some1 please give me a few more ideas,ive had it for 6weeks and its only eaten 1 pinky,ive keeped it warm,etc

The last three days in Wollongong have been beautiful with mild temps (18-20C) and no wind. I have taken an extended lunch break each day and headed up into the hills to see what I could find. I know a spot in the hills with tin and other dumped rubbish so I examined this area and found the...

hey guys, iv got a 4 months old bredli male, i got him in may and when i brought him the breeder said he had eatin that week, since then i have had no luck tryin to get him to feed at all. his sister eats fine and so do all my other snakes. But he wont eat at all. he striks at people but doesnt...

hey all, just playing with the new camera and took a few shots of skinks in the backyard; would i be right in assuming these are the common garden variety? i've had a look in 'frogs & reptiles of the sydney region' by ken griffiths and i'm thinking they are either common garden or snake-eyed...

Here is the first of two posts of herps that I have seen near Wollongong, NSW, in the last three years. The habitat near Wollongong consists mostly of wet eucalyptus forest on the slopes of the escarpment with isolated patches of rainforest in some of the protected gullies. There is heath on...

This time I went up to Mt. Kosciusko as part of a Botany trip for uni in Feb. On the way to the first site we stopped to check out Little River Gorge, the largest gorge in Victoria, very impressive. The first stop was in a mixed white box and white cypress pine dominated community near...

whats your favorite reptile mine has to be a shingleback or something

Thought this might make an interesting and useful link for anybody with a feral cat problem in their neighbourhood (probably most of us). http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBTOX:IT&item=350055000352&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI

It amazes me the amount of people who feed live just for the sake of it. Every time I go into a petshop, people are there buying rats/mice, and the store owners know exactly what its for because they are talking about it. Pet shops should not be selling them for that reason, for one, its...

This is a great time of the year to see a variety of reptiles. Young of the year are everywhere and all of the reptiles seem to be actively searching for their final meals before the arrival of winter. Yesterday, the weather was perfect so I went for a long walk at Royal. Last Saturday, I...

:D Hi can someone tell me what would make the best lizard for a pet for my young son. It will be our first reptile and i am new at all of this so i have no idea. HELP PLEASE:D

I dont think you can put any lizard in there but i was wondering what lizard might be able to go in there? It is a 3ft tank.

Hey peeps :D I just came back from herping at Boronia park.Its awesome there .I spotted heaps of Eastern Water Dragons and some large skinks aswell :PBefore I went herping i had to go for a run with my mum :rolleyes: All the herp pics were taken by me :D Nikki

I decided to take my son on a walk in the Blue Mountains today before my next work trip tomorrow. We had a great day although the weather was initially wet. We drove over the mountains to Lithgow and then waited until the weather began to improve in the mid-morning. We then returned to the...

I saw my first Stimpson hatchlings this weekend and was amazed at how small they were. I have caught worms in the garden bigger than those little guys. I was wondering, what do you feed them at that size? Surely they couldn't take a pinkie yet, could they?

In the last few months, I have had a number of work-related trips to Tasmania. Most of the time, I have been too busy to get out but on a couple of occasions, I hired a car and headed drove to nearby national parks. In early November, I spent part of a day in the Port Arthur area and walked...

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...
