Hi guys, What is your top 10 favorite lizards of Australia???

Just wanted to share my good news. One of my female shinglebacks gave birth 2 days ago to a beautiful baby (I think it's a girl).:) It's a big bub. First reptile I have bred - very proud of Big Mama Shingleback. Will post photos in due course. After loosing a shingleback a few weeks ago to an...

Hi all, I know this question gets asked from time to time in this forum, but I'm having some trouble in identifying my latest addition to my lizard family. Because of his long tail, I'm thinking he is a boy, but his demeanour and face is so similar to one of my other females. I've taken a few...

my shingleback has been sneezing alot lately:shock: and one of his eyes is really watery(its like hes crying) hes also breathing really heavily sometimes with his head up. he also seems to be shedding. also he was infested with mites when i got him just after christmas, if that has anything to...

Hey guys! So, like many of you, I made a brief appearance at the Castle Hill Expo today. Man it was hot and sticky in there! Definitely some AMAZING animals though. I was so stoked to get to see the black woma in person, also got to pet a sand monitor which really made my day. Sadly, I didn't...

Hey guys, havent been on here for agees. Hope everyone had a nice christmas and new year. Anyways I know these threads are annoying and in numbers, but i did a search with no help. I recieved this blue tongue from someone who could no longer look after it. I put him/her outside in a pit which...

Scientific Name Tiliqua rugosa Common Name Shingleback Age 3 yr Size Big Quantity Available 2 Bred By General Description I am looking to sell my shingleback pair. To the best of my knowledge they are male and female. I purchased them as juviniles, and would like to see them go to...

Wondering what the different shingleback species are? I recently saw a desert shingleback for sale and wondered what the difference is between desert or normal lizards? Any pictures of your shinglebacks and what type they are would be a help too. You know, visual aid!:)

This is how Sid managed her first day of heat wave...still in the bath at 20:30hours. She did spend time stalking the house earlier. How did your favourite beasties cope today?

Hey guys, I recently picked up two two year old T.r. rugosa's. I'm hoping they are male and female. I know it's probably going to be an educated guess based on appearance, but does anyone wanna tell me what sex they think my guys are? Both of their tales are quite different from one another...

I have been offered to take an adult unknown sex shingleback lizard but currently have no spare tank for it. I have a 4 foot tank that houses two adult eastern blue tongue lizards. Their sex is unknown, although I'm pretty certain that after not breeding for the 5 years they have lived together...

This is my new big boofy shingle back Cat-Dog. He is the greatest.

Hey folks, I've just come from looking at a pair of Western Australian Shingle Backs that are for sale. One had the orange colourings associated with the Goldfields type, while the other was more black and creamy white. After seeing this, I realised I have no idea if the Gold Fields form just...

So a little while ago I finished all my Uni exams for the year and my mother decided this meant we should visit the family in Adelaide. Since I'm such a keen herper I convinced her the best way to do this would be to drive from Newcastle to Broken Hill, and then down from there to Adelaide. This...

hey im just wondering whos going to the SOFAR Expo in Newcastle next year I will going im hoping to pick up a water dragon :)

Well I managed to score a nice recycled timber cabinet just before Christmas on Ebay which will become the new home for my 2yo Mac who is currently in a 2ft glass enclosure. The new cabinet has an opening 930W x 600D x 650H. I have converted the VCR shelf to house and hide all the lighting and...

Well since this section is also called reptile studies, I'm looking to see if I can garner some information. Has anyone ever done a study on the subject of translocation of burrowing frogs? particularly Cyclorana species. Also does anyone have any papers regarding radiotracking of translocated...

This is all hypothetical but a possibility in the future. I have read often and seen in shops, beardies and shinglebacks being kept quite happily together. If I were to do this someday (no hate please) how would you recommend heating and lighting them. Would I be able to keep 1 of each species...

Would a bobtail lizard prefer to live on its own, or have a partner of the opposite sex? I am wanting people's opinions. I have a male bobtail and was thinking of up-grading the size of his viv and providing him with a wife. I have had people saying this is not a wise idea as they chose to live...

Hi, I have Eastern Blue Tongues and a Cunningham skink in a 6ft enclosure with plenty of room still, and an outdoor pit for them during the warmer days. I have been looking at Central Netted Dragons I think they look really cool but unsure about how compatible they can be with my current lizards...

Can anyone please point me in the right direction for information about keeping (and where to buy) legless lizards in Victoria? Thank you.

This is Otso, a male Shingleback who loves to eat anything and everything. He's about 2 years old.He used to bite alot but has now settled down completely. He was also sexed by a reptile vet and gets regular check ups etc. I'm asking $250 for this guy. Thanks :)

I have a spare 90 x 40 x 40cm tank that I would like to put in the living room as a home for a people-friendly lizard (or two) that doesn't mind being handled occasionally. I'm new to keeping lizards, so I'm looking for a species that is good for beginners. After looking into bearded dragons it...

My eastern blue tongue is very fussy, he/she doesn't like strawberries, banana, cos lettuce all types of fruits and veggies:( will only eat crickets and meal worms, and the Vetafarm lizard food any suggestions on why he/she doesn't like fruits and veggies? any help would be greatly...

Hello, Is anyone on here a Shingleback breeder or know of anyone who would be able to help me out? I have searched all over the web and couldn't find any Shinglebacks for sale. So if anyone could help me out, that would be much appreciated!

Just received a facebook message from another carer: "Hey Shelly, We have a very unwell young shingleback...got picked up literally by a bird and dropped about 10 ft....very lethargic...I dont even think he will see the night out. No obvious injuries aside from rear leg dragging...is about 8...

I have put my shingleback, JubJub on a diet. He LOVES canned insects and dog meat and refuses to eat fruit and veg, resulting in one chubby Jubby. Who thinks he looks a little chunky?? :)

Spotted a lizard/Goanna/skink that i have never seen before in West Aussie in Madora bay...At first i thought it was another bobtail but it wasent...Colour was more of an olive green...Was as long as a bobtail although not as fat..Head was more slimmer and not triangular shape...It moved...

Hi guys, Planning on getting a second reptile. Actually, let me rephrase that. I have convinced my parents to let me get a Woma, i have saved the money required plus more and have done all the relevant research (although there is always more to learn). I do however go away next year and decided...

would a shingleback or bluey be able to drink from one of those water despenser/bottles? also could you house a stumpie outside in canberra

Spent the Cup weekend at Little Desert and Big Desert with micah, steve, simon and alot of other really cool people ! It was my first time up to the mallee so i was really damn excited ! the first day kicked off well ! the skinks were common, but proved to be fast ! Obscure Skink (Morethia...

Went to both Little Desert (one day) and big desert (nearly 3 days) with richoman and others to do some herping for a few days. Was quite successful and saw about 25 species (nearly 50% out of the true mallee penetrating sp). Of these i photograph few some i didnt bother photographing and others...

was heading into town today and came across this bloke crossing the road, only seen black ones around here this one caught my eye

I have loads of questions, hopefully everyone can add what they know. first, how many types of blueys are there? how different from each other are they? did I hear about a Tasmanian bluey? What temperatures should they have for what times of the year and seasons and at what age should they...

My girlfriends mate of Facebook uploaded this so I thought I'd share.. Looks like a big meal. To be honest I wouldn't have thought a brown would eat a stumpy. Cool pic all the same. The photo was taken in kimba. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the flinders ranges and Arkaroola, it wasn't specifically a herping trip but i spent plenty of time looking for them. Sorry for some of the poor skink photography, i find the the Ctenotus species quite difficult to photograph. Morethia boulengeri were...

Hi Two of my shinglebacks have been 'courting' lately (chasing, male biting the female at the neck etc). From observation, she may have allowed him to proceed the other day...although the process only seemed to last a few minutes! Any advice from other shingleback keepers on how long they...

Hey ive recently purchased another blue tongue lizard to go with my easterns, but this one doesnt look anything like my other two. It is a high yellow. Mainly its face is really yellow. I dont know much about localitys etc so i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Also...

Hey everyone, I have been through some substrate and bedding threads, and all I could find were bedding that kept moisture and humidity levels. I want to know what are some substrates that do not keep the humidity very well, say if you wanted to keep something that doesn't tolerate humidity very...

Hey everyone, I am building an enclosure with the idea of housing a shingleback in it. If you read my other thread you would know, anyway I know a lot of people use heat cords for snakes. And would like to know can you use them the same way for lizards in particular blue tongues and...

Hi everyone, I have been debating with myself about getting a shingleback. My main concern is the humidity up here in Townsville, but I thinking that I can build an enclosure out of some type of timber that keeps out the humidity as best as possible. I also thought if I make the enclosures...
