Hey,
I'm considering getting a shingleback at some stage in the (hopefully) not too distant future. As I understand it they are excellent (for a reptile) handlers and not easily stressed by that sort of thing. There slow speed and large size means I can feel comfortable letting him out and...
G'day guys,
Thought some of you would be interested in these first two photo's - a wild BHP approximately 350km north north-west of Brisbane CBD. This is one of the closest spots to Brisbane that you will find them. It was a large adult female, approximately 2.4 metres crossing the road at...

Something I've read about is that arid zone reptiles (i.e woma pythons, shingleback lizards) can contract respiratory infections when kept on the humid east coast or the top end. Obviously outdoor enclosures are no good, but are indoor enclosures no problem or are there further measures keepers...

Okay... what the hell is this thing?! Emerald area (the Dandenong Ranges), found it just before on the front steps when I was out with Briss (shingleback), I thought it was rubbish... but wow! I guess it's a type of slug, it leaves a mucus trail, although it has no antennae. It has a red tipped...

ok, so there are 6 species of blue tongued skinks, that fall under the tiliqua genus.
pygmy, centralian, blotched, western, common/eastern and shingleback.
i was just wondering can these species all breed with eachother and produce offspring?
and if they can, does it cause their offspring...
I was just thinking about how many reps I got just this year didn't think I was this bad but I have gotten 1 scrub 1 olive 1 keelback 3 common tree snakes 1 night tiger 1 spotted a croc and Im getting my gtp in 2 weeks . So how many reps have you gotten this year ???
I don't really give much credit to reptiles showing emotional attachment to anything, but these guys really seem to like hanging out together. Don't think they will breed as they weren't cooled anywhere near low enough, but I just enjoy keeping them so babies would only be a bonus anyway.
Hi,

Please, god, please help... my young bearded dragon, Rem, has just suffered what I can only describe as a violent attack/seizure.

I finally sorted some computer issues and can start putting up photos!!
I spent last week down in central Queensland with work looking at dingoes, unfortunately it rained almost the entire time, ruining much of our efforts and the trip had to be cut short by a week. Hopefully if I'm organised...
Hi All!
I have very recently been given a juvenile T. Nigrolutea and am having trouble getting it to feed at all.
I am unsure how old it is, but it's about 10cm long. It doesn't appear to be emaciated but had been competing with a number of mature lizards for food.
I have tried everything to...

To all the Adelaidians,
I'm looking to borrow a bluey for a few minutes tomorrow for a photo shoot. I'm presenting some of my past research on Blue tongues at the Australian Society of Herpetologists 2010 conference next week and need to have a few poser shots of the researchers with a bluey...
Hey guys I posted a thread on here about a month ago of my little coastal carpet having problems feeding. It has been about 4months now and he still hadn't ate anything until today, but I'm frightened I may have done something wrong in what i have fed him. I found a small lizard in my backyard...
