Hi Everyone, Just returned from a trip to Katherine and the Eastern Kimberley. Below are a few finds from the trip. Not sure on my Gecko's and the skinks are just hard so advice on identification is welcome. Diporiphora-bilineata Boiga-irregularis Carlia Triacantha Crocodylus...

These pics were taken by one of the NRW crew at Cloudbreakthis week. It took a total of 5 hours for the snake to finish it off a Perente (Bungarra). As you can see they put some signage up so it couldn't get run over.

Scientific Name Varanus Panoptes Common Name Yellow-Spotted Monitor Age Approximately 2 years Sex I suspect it is a Male because it used to fight with its tank-mate who was definately a male but has not been X-rayed. General Description Awesome looking specimen. Lives in...

A huge thunderstorm hit the Windorah area on the afternoon as we approached from the south. Flash floods cut the road for awhile in the afternoon until the water levels dropped once again. We arrived late so we weren't delayed but we could see debris on the road. There were pools on the sides...

Got a mate who lives at Longreach, and is curious what kind of monitor he gets on his property. He reckons it's identical to the one in this photo set http://flickr.com/photos/barbara-h/170375363/ Help us out?

Hi, Thought I'd share a few pics of my herp room that's waiting to be filled with herps. Going to start putting a few things in it tomorrow and then the rest once they drop eggs.:D It's 4.2m x 4.2m so should be able to fit quite a bit in there.;) The walls are 75mm thick cold room...

My son and I visited Karijini National Park in the Pilbara of Western Australia for several days in November, 2005. This park is famous for its beautiful red rock gorges. Some of these gorges have permanent water and of course, where there is water, there is abundant life. Here are a few...

In February, 2007, a friend and I visited the Goldfields area of Western Australia. In this post, I will include photos of animals that we encountered in the Wiluna/Leonora/Laverton area. The habitat here looked great and it seemed to hold lots of potential for snakes. In the end, we saw few...

Well the time has finally come and I have finished my outdoor pit for some goannas. I have a pair of sandy's organised and half paid for but while I was looking at my pit yesterday I started getting greedy. What could be put in there with the sandy's? Would turts go ok with goannas? I know...

My son and I saw this incredible monitor on our trip in November, 2006. It was the most brightly coloured monitor that I have ever encountered. I have trouble separating Yellow-spotted Monitors (Varanus panoptes) from Gould's Monitors (V. gouldi) but I assume that this lizard is a...

just thought I'd post up some pics I've taken in the last month.

Hello all. Can anyone tell me - are there any stories of rare or undescribed Australian snake species? These might be extremely rare (and known species), or species now presumed extinct, or there might be stories describing snakes that do not fit any known descriptions (for example "it was...

As a newbie i am trying to soak up as much info as possible. I have come across quite a few threads concerning python bites, yet I have not found any to do with monitors. Is this because monitor bites are less common, less serious than python bites?

Seen this fella yesterday afternoon and thought I'd share the pic. He was resting on the edge of the dam, looking suspiciously like a small croc from a distance!! About 1.5m long and would've aken both my hands to encircle the base of his tail. Had been feasting on a dead sheep close-by. It was...

Driving through a back road near my place, i noticed a dead monitor on the road. The road is only about 80km max and red dirt with lots of rocks. Well someone hit this poor little guy ut on closer inspection we were debating the species, gould's or panoptes. The three books i have here don't...

We always comment that particular animals would be on our 'Wish List'... so I thought I would get everyone to list their top three Australian reptiles they would love to keep... Mine are (in no particular order); - Merten's Water Monitor - Rough Scaled Python - Georgetown Stimsons Python

I am wanting to get into lizard but i am not sure what to get so i wanting to know what people think the best lizard top keep is and the reason why thanks all opinions well come

Someone gave me this article, to save you reading it it says that carpet pythons over 5.5m :shock: had been found near Kaimkillenbun(near bunya mountains in Qld). While a small article in a paper is not 100% proof i think its highly possible its true. It comes from the Dalby Herald 13 july 2006.

This little bloke was found in a bunker on base. (I don't remember if I have posted it before :? ) It was released out side. This big fella came walking through the section like he owned the place :lol:

Hi all, at the end of the year i am moving to a new place that has a decent sized backyard. i want to build in an open top pit because i want to get a pair of monitors, at this stage laceys, but maybe something slightly smaller.... just wanted to know what other people have done for...

Hi all, I recently moved to Darwin from Newcastle and on the drive up, while travelling at 130km/hr on the Barkley Highway, I spotted this little guy on the side of the road. I was over the moon to see one of these guys in the wild, moreso impressed I spotted him while travelling at that speed...

I was amazed to see how many people have some really nice pythons out there (on the show us your pythons forum). Obviously a lot less people will have monitors. But I was wondering how many people actually have some. If you've got some monitors or are generally interested in them why not post...

Just to let everyone know that some people on here won some trophies at the show. Pyror - Best Python (bredl) Johnbowemonie - Best Diamond GarthnFay - Best Skink, Best Bluetongue - (westIe bluey) There were some more but I can't remember the exact categories. One SCHS member won three...
