tiliqua rugosa

I've had this photo saved onto my computer for a couple of months now but I keep forgetting to post it. Here it is. And for those who don't know already, albino shinglebacks do exist. I'm too lazy to google a picture, though :|. Anyways, what do you guys think is up with lizard?

Hi everyone. I have a question regarding licensing. I am fully licenced and have a fair few animals. I have found a person selling a shingle back and 2 bluetongues. When I asked a few questions about them, I found that the person is licenced but the animals in question are not on a licence...

Does anyone else sleep with their pets, whatever kind it is? I've slept with all of my pets(dogs,birds,rabbit, shingleback:lol:) besides my frog snake and fish(for obvious reasons:shock:) funnily enough they are the three that live in my room!... These days I find it almost impossible to sleep...

Im looking for a shingleback, doesnt matter what sex, callme on 0403628236, thanks

I'm very keen on owning a Shingleback (or two!) and I'd like to know what I'm getting into. 1. First off, how much do they go for in Queensland? I've heard of them being as low as $50, but I'm assuming that's in WA, where they're much more common. 2. How much would the initial startup of 1-2...

so was walking out to the shed this morning when 2 of these skinks ( i think their eastern water skinks ? ) came rushing towards me , startled i paused when the one infront tripped in the grate drain then the one following lunged and bit her on the neck and they started rolling around that was...

HELP! I've got 2 new darwin carpet pythons in the same tank only young. I've just found little crawling bugs coming off them. Fairly sure they have mites. What can I do in the short term? I've checked my other snakes & I cannot see any traces of crawling bigs on them or white spots.. Advice or...

I'm thinking of getting a Shingleback to go with my Blue-tongue some time in the future, and this, like many things, got me thinking about sex. Could those two species interbreed? And would the offspring be fertile? I'm curious here.

Hey guys well two nights ago we had a family discussion on what will be our final species addition to our collection and the day before I saw the licensing laws have changed in Vic and saw the plains rat has come down to basic licence I googled about them and fell in love with these gorgeous...

Hey Guys I wish to get a pair of shinglebacks at the next expo if I can so i had a few questions: 1. Would a 4ft or 5ft suffice for a pair. 2. What do I do with the humidity stuff. 3. What substrate is good I thought knitters krumble or desert sand. Are they easy to keep. Thanks

Herping weekend SA Hi all, was bored on Friday night on facebook, talking to a few mates, and a herping trip was mentioned. Next minute I was booking an early morning flight from Melbourne to Adelaide for the next day (27th July) and a return flight the following night (28th). It was the best...

G'day guys My male EWD is in need of an enclosure upgrade. I was originally thinking an aviary but i realised that we have an old sand pit, 2.1m x 2.4m. I have decided to remove all the old sand, get fresh new substrate, plants, logs and a pond and build up the walls and build a mesh lid for...

My 14 month old MD python has had a plastic dinosaur in her tank since she was about 3 months old, and she's always climbed all over it, she wraps herself around it when I pick her up to take her out of her tank, and recently she's started sleeping on it. I know this sounds crazy, but I think...

Is it possible to breed blue tongue lizards and/or shingleback lizards indoors? I only ever hear of it happening in pits outside, but was wondering if a strict day night cycle and winter brumation temps were enforced - would it work?

Hi all, I think my smooth knob-tailed gecko has MBD of some sort as he's gone off his food for a few weeks now (I thought it was due to brumation until recently). He just sits in his hot end hide and thats about as active as he has been. I tried poking him the other night and his reactions...

Victoria has had clear sunny skies for the past week, and although freezing cold, I decided to organise a day of winter herping with a few mates to see what we could find. It was an early start, dark skys and between 0-1 degrees. Ice was everywhere and it took a while clearing the ice from the...

Hi everyone! Although I have been researching for over a year, I only just got my first reptile license last night! I will be picking up my very first reptile next week (a 6 month old Bluey) - I am very excited! I am a teacher with the ultimate goal of becoming a wildlife educator. So finally...

hey all it may sound stupid but im sort of venting and asking for help, i know four different people who keep reptile's and none of them have lisences for them and all have more then one, also(with not naming people) person 1 has two beardys he caught wild and has in the same tank with NO...

I am only fairly new to the whole monitor side of things so basically I just wanted some personal opinions on some monitors, so if you can tell me anything about either of the 4 below that would be great... I have basic knowledge from what you read on the net but that doesn't account for the...

Hi, Just wondering if 1 baby bluey can live with 2 baby Water Dragons? Thank you, Tyler

Hey all, went out west for a few days, spending two days at the Little Desert and one at the Grampians. The weather was looking very overcast and freezing cold when I arrived at Little Desert. Nothing was basking and flipping only revealed a Shingeback, an Obscure Skink and a Marbled Gecko...

I'm trying to decide what would make the most use of a 5 foot long by 2 wide by 3 high wooden enclosure. It was originally for my Jungle but she's still a baby and this enclosure screams lizard. I'm at the point in construction where I must make a final choice so as to continue down the specific...

Hey guys, Picking up my next little family member this evening, Tonka the Shingleback. I have the general care down pat, I was just wondering what other shingleback keepers have found to be good treats for the little monsters. What do you feed your shinglebacks as a treat?

Yo guys, Freighting my Shingle (with AAE) from Sydney to a buyer in Brisbane.. was planning to put the lizard in a pillow case, then placing him in a PLASTIC click-clack container, and taping it shut just for double security. Is plastic fine, or do I need a WOODEN enclosure? I am finding...

Just wondering if you can, and if so under what licence?

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...

:oops: I know this isn't a post about keeping snakes, but I do love snakes & want to avoid any harm coming to them or my family & pets. We live in a rural area on a farm & have a high number of venomous snakes around ( see at least 10-15 around the house each summer) in the last 3 years we have...

I am not that versed in what I assume are Latin names for snakes and lizards and after reading replies to some posts over the last few years I felt it would be a good question. Why do some people tend to use Latin names when replying to posts that have been using common names, eg: rattling off 8...
