Here are some pics from the past week i took down at the Mornington Peninsula, which is about an hour south east of Melbourne. I had afew species in mind, including the metallic skink, swamp skink and white lipped snake. I had photographed swamp skinks and seen white lips before, but mettalics...

I have never seen anything like this before, There was at least 5 mini tails coming off the main regenerated tail/

Hey guys, saved this skink from my cat earlier and realized I didnt recognise it. Could anybody look at these pics and help me out? Thanks.

My mates asked me to help identify his little skink, so I thought why not come here.

So I was giving the dog a bath and noticed a large hole in the dirt. We have had quite a lot of Wolf spiders at the moment and the kids are a little worried about em so I put the hose down it to see if it would come out.... as you do! After a while, these little white things came up and I...

There seems to be a "Show us your" thread for almost every other thing, so i thought why not make my own unique one! Feel free to post pictures of an happy little critter that is taking residence in your garden whether it be Reptile,Bird, Amphibian insect or even a mammal takes some pictures...

Hello herp lovers! I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to ID what is most likely a very simple ID for anyone who knows skinks. Location: North West Sydney suburban garden. Sorry about the quality, I've only got a point-and-click camera. Hopefully it's good enough. Thanks!

Hi this is for school do you think the Tasmanian reptile laws should be as follows? Agamidae (Dragons) Rankinia diemensis (Mountain Dragon) Scincidae (Skinks) Acritoscincus duperreyi (Three-lined Skink) Cyclodomorphus casuarinae (She-oak Skink) (endemic) Egernia whitii (White's Skink)...

Same rules as 'Guess'.

Im going to try and put in a poll what are your thoughts on Tasmanians importing Australian pythons and reptiles as Tasmania has no pythons and very few lizards that can be kept as pets please poll (if it works) and post what you think :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

My wife and I have just returned from a four-day trip to Tasmania. Most of our time was spent in the Hobart area, but one day, we drove along the east coast. We visited Ben Lomond National Park and then continued as far north as the Bay-of-Fires. The weather in Tasmania is often cool so we...

I found this little guy when gardening on the weekend on the mornington peninsula his a bit different to the run of the mill skinks we see so I took a couple of photos and let him go. He was easy to handle probably pretty cold. I have had a quick look in my older version of cogger but he didn't...

as with most people when they get there first snake they make mistakes, mine was with sticky tape -_- my baby tiger snake decided to get cheeky and escape from the enclosure only to find himself stuck on some heavy-heavy duty tape...after that little drama and a bit of scale damage (only about 3...

I am back in a wintry Hobart at the moment. I have been working on an I.T. project here for many months and recently, had two more trips. Hobart is a great place so it is always nice to come back again. Most of the photos in this post were taken in late June and July and will include more...

My work commitments in Tasmania have sadly come to a close. I have had a great time in the past year with frequent trips to Hobart. My wife often accompanied me and this has felt much like a working holiday. On occasion, I was able to take a break and we would hire a car and head to the wild...

There are some truly spectacular national parks in Tasmania. I visited one of these yesterday on a beautiful but crisp (12C, 53F) autumn day. Mt. Field National Park is only a little over an hour's drive from Hobart. On this trip, I followed a trail into the alpine country to visit an...

I had a day off work today here in Hobart so I hired a car and headed off to Hartz Mountain National Park in the southwest of Tasmania. I have visited this park four times during the summer and early autumn and on each visit, it was cold and often snowing. This visit was not much different and...

Last Christmas, I spent a few days with relatives in Melbourne. While there, my son and I made a quick trip up to the Lake Mountain area to look for reptiles. I found a couple species of skinks but I am not certain of their identity. Does anyone recognize these? This small skink was common...

My wife and I went on a walk to Cape Raoul in the Tasman National Park yesterday. This park is about an hour and a half drive to the northeast of Hobart, Tasmania. The trail to Cape Raoul passed though eucalyptus woodland before emerging into heath on the cape itself. The coastline of the...

I have been lucky enough to work on a project in Tasmania for a number of months. This work has meant that I fly to Hobart from Sydney every month and recently, I have spent a couple of weeks at a time in Tassie. Last week, I took Friday and Saturday off work, hired a car and drove to a truly...

As I mentioned before, I am working on a project in Tasmania. I have visited it every month since May last year. Most of my time is spent in Hobart, a great place with lots of restaurants and nice scenery. I especially like the Salamanca area. ... Salamanca in the winter: ... The...

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...
