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)...

Honeymoon in Port Douglas: Black Mountain: I didn't get to see the monitor but found the black mountain skink which was very unperturbed by our presence and was really fun to watch. If you haven't seen Black Mountain before it is a truly unique place and well worth the trip if you are...

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...

I recently returned from what can only be described as an epic herping trip around Qld and we found quiet a few animals that aren't so commonly encountered so what better way to test your ID skills. If you want to take a guess at the animals please justify why you ID'd it as you did (I'm...

hello Aussie herp keepers. I was wondering about the legalities of keeping reptiles in Australia?

Over the New Year break, I headed up to Black Mountain hoping to see the Black Mountain Gecko Nactus galgajuga. Unfortunately, I did not see any, but met my new favourite reptile, the Black Mountain Skink Liburnascincus scirtetis. I can't believe such a small herp has so much character and...

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 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...

It may be late autumn in Tasmania but the weather this past week was surprisingly mild. Thursday was clear and fairly warm in Hobart (18C), so I decided to take the day off work. I headed with my wife to Hartz Mountain National Park in south-central Tasmania. I have visited this park on four...

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 Sunday, my wife and I visited Mt. Field National Park in the south-central portion of Tasmania. This park is only about an hour's drive from Hobart. After entering the park, we continued up the road to the "high-country" (1000m) near Lake Dobson. The day was cool but we had a...
