During the summer my band went on our 1st Australian Tour.
In my spare time I met up with a few friends from interstate and did a days herping.
Also, if you're into Metal, check out Eternal Rest.
First we hit up Vic. After playing a sweet gig a mate of mine who recently went to FNQ with me...
Few shots from a recent trip to the North Central region of Victoria.

Sitting in the car on the way got boring so we decided to open the windows and jump out in bendigo.
With perfect landing we stumbled across this disgusting creature.

hey i don't have any heat for my thick tailed gecko and i got him earlier this year so the temps stayed at around 25 degrees but now its going down to around 20 degrees. Could this affect his eating because i found that he is not eating that much in this past week.
Hi everyone, just finished a trip up to Mungo national park for 3 days.
It was about an 8 hour drive from melbourne, the first night we stopped in Hattah NP for 1 night, which is 1 hour south of Mildura.
Overall it was a good experience, i went with Richoman_3 (nick) on here.
Once again...
So I popped in a goldfish and....... X moves into position (on left)
Then the strike!
But he's just got a mouthful of soft goldfish tail and it breaks away
X can still taste goldfish so he goes into a wrapping frenzy but there is nothing there!
Finally he pops his head out only to find...

Was just cleaning out my thick tails tank when I noticed that he has shed and found his skin under a rock and I'm pretty happy cause he looks a bit bigger to and was wondering when would I be able to pick him up because he is 7weeks old now and people are saying that you shouldn't pick them up...
THE COP has been finalised and is being implemented now to private keepers. Cage sizes become law now.
This was taken from an internal memo about reptiles in pet shops:
"People who keep pet reptiles under an Animal Keepers Licence or Companion Animal Licence are

I have a thick tailed gecko on red dessert sand. A feeder cricket that was in his cage started to stick its behind into that sand next to the waterbowl and lay eggs. Should i be worried and do breeding crickets and their eggs cause any harm to my gecko or even me. Im going to clean out the whole...

hey I tried handling my 1 year old thick tailed gecko which i have only had for a week. I put him down and he started to bark at me, I no this is normal if they feel threatened but I'm just unsure if this made him stressed or would cause other problems and also does this mean I shouldn't handle...

I got some rats and a possible female kimberly phase norrhern bluey. Kind of glad I didnt splurge on an albino darwin hatchy.

Hey I recently got a male thick tailed gecko that is 1 year old. I've had him for about 4 days and every time I put in crickets (around 4) he eats one and then becomes not interested in the others. I'm starting to get worried as he is my first reptile and I'm not sure if this is normal.

Mine are:

What do you have and what did you call them?

Hey everyone. I've been doing a fair bit of lurking on this forum lately and purchased my first gecko yesterday, so I figured it's time for me to make an appearance.

I have recently bought an underwoodisaurus milii gecko and he's only about 6 months old at the moment. I have three questions for you guys.

Should I mist spray his tank...
