Arriving at Adelaide we met up with JP from QLD and waited for shawn (rocket) to pick us up. We went to his house and saw...
Here are some random photos of some of the lizards (Gekkota) in my collection. They are pretty bad photos...

Herping weekend SA

With the Uni holidays winding up, and my need to find herps still far from itched, I decided on spending a week in beautiful, sunny, warm South Australia.
I flew over on a tuesday and spent the week catching up with the numerous (almost too many) family members I have in Adelaide. After...
Just thought I'd show off some of the photos i've taken of local, SA herps over the past ten or so years. I am not a photographer - don't expect perfect photos. This is by far, not everything I have seen but these show some of the animals where I managed to have a camera (not a great one I might...

I had to use lots of accumulated leave this year and I never like to waste it at home. So, after returning from Italy, I set off on a photography trip with a friend (Ted) and his son (Andrew) from Arizona. Ted and I explored the deserts in California and Mexico 40 years ago when we were in...
I have done lots of searching but haven't been able to find much out about these geckos:Northern Dtella, Golden Spiny Tailed, and Jewelled Gecko.
Are these kept much in captivity? Also if anyone knew a rough price for them and wanted to tell me I would appreciate it.
The Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) is offering a number of reptiles for disposal through a ballot. The following species have been identified for the Department and are advertised as:

Side thread to the Womas on Class 1 thread.
There is talk of DECC enforcing minimum enclosure sizes, which are likely a lot larger than we currently keep our animals in.
Opinions anyone?
Just saw a notice from DECC on Petlink, they have a ballot going with 3 Jewelled Geckos up for grabs, as well as a Diamond, a Delma inornata and a couple of other things. ;)
just picked up my new trio of s.williamsi and now i'm waiting with my g/f for her Md's to land.
Thanks to geckodan and spoonman.
