Myself and my partner have been on a few herping trips lately and I thought id put up a few of the highlights.
I'll start with the local stuff. I've just done a couple of pretty dismal nights herping around Brisbane so far.
As there isn't too much to find I've been able to experiment with...
Not too long ago, myself and my girlfried, CVHG, umped onto a pressuresed metal tube and flew 2848.54 km / 1538.09 nautical miles to the NT's night life crazy CBD, Darwin.
We landed at midnight, with boots, camera equipment, a bag full of field guides and a sleeping bag each.
My best...
Just got a pair of these guys locally. Male and female 4 Years old. Plan is to breed them in the future. What would individuals be worth considering there are none available anywhere that I can see?
Is it a species no one wants or are they just rare in the pet trade. Found them to be so much...
Following on from my thread on Aussie Snakes which can be seen here - http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/field-herping-reptile-studies-5373/aussie-snakes-190769/ - I thought I'd put up a thread on some of the monitor lizards that I have also encountered on my herping travels. I haven't seen a...
Couple of weeks ago I spent a week (not long enough!) in the NT. Started in Darwin for a few nights with some mates in bands (they were playing some gigs) and then my buddy and I headed down to Katherine, then a cattle station at Mainoru which we stayed at for a few nights and then down to...
Hi guys,
this evening we have James Watkins with a presentation on Varanus baritji, the Yellow-spotted Ridge-Tailed Monitor. James has been successful in keeping and breeding this monitor species for a few years now and also ran an article in Scales and Tails magazine on this species.

Just wanted to post this news from one of our chirpersons in the hopes of making people aware that the Campbelltown/Macarthur area does have a Herp Club and that we would love to see you at our monthly meetings and various activites, maybe even gain enough interest from everyone to have our own...
the vic dse is considering adding some species to the list that victorians are allowed to keep. they require specific numbers kept and the keeper/breeders name and state they live in. if anyone has or knows of anyone who keeps any of the following please let me know. all that is required is the...
The last few weeks have been hectic trying to get Issue 15 ready and to the printers for our early deadline. Our printers will be shutting down over xmas for holidays so if we missed our deadline of today we wouldn't have gotten back in until middle of January. We did it!

Ahoi all,
Recently I spent a few days with some friends in Darwin and I ticked off a few species I'd been dying to see for ages.
I'd been up through darwin a few times but never herped there that with any effort.
This time, in a slightly better season I was sure to find much much...
Ok so a friend of myne is giving me a 4ft fish tank with a crack in it. Since he can't keep his fish in it anymore as it won't hold water, he asked if I could put any of my reptiles in it. Being the hoarder that I am I jumped at the chance of losing more money on herps :rolleyes::lol:
Anyways...
Well I have been slack as, since these pics are from our trip to Darwin in June/July and I am only just putting them up now:oops:
Unfortunately most of the herps we saw were not in the wild but was still cool to see them.
This was our first day there, at the Territory Wildlife Park.
Saw this...

This photo was taken from Daniel Bennett's book "Monitor Lizards: Natural history, biology & husbandry" pp 249..
I always wondered about this monitor's true identity. The caption says
"Monitor from McArthur River, with characteristics intermediate between V.storri and V.primordius. Photo...

This year I am determined to breed my Diamonds(who didn't go last year) and my black and golds(first go at it).
