So I have been really slack and not put any pics up from our last 3 trips (the most recent one was 2 weeks ago).
This is the first of those trips to Cairns/Daintree in October 2010 (only a year late!!!). Hopefully the rest will follow over the next week or so......
Hope you enjoy, but please excuse some of the photos, that camera has been dropped one too many times and was not performing like it used to!:x

Not herp related, but at the Chamber's wildlife lodge where we stayed, honey was smeared on some trees each night to draw in the gliders and possums

This was awful! We got back from a night walk and I found this free loader stuck to my leg. I didn't have anything to get it off with so I just had to leave it.....

It got bigger.....

And finally dropped off, but I got my revenge by flushing it down the toilet!

This little jungle python was very lucky not to get squished! We almost ran it over less than 100m out of Malanda. It didn't appreciate being helped off the road and lived up to the jungle reputation, cranky!!!! It was alot prettier in real life, very rich copper and gold.

They are burn marks. I have a ringtail with the same , got burnt on mesh with a 60W bulb in winter.... I don't use bulbs for heating geckos anymore....
 
A lovely collection of shots there. Quite some variety. Very nice.

The smallish, mottled frog is the Floodplain Frog or Peter’s Frog (Litoria inermis)
The random skink is probably a Blue-throated Rainbow-skink (Carlia rhomboidalis)
The glider is almost certainly a Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps) – Squirrel Gliders look almost identical but are larger.
The turtle is probably the Northern Red-faced Turtle (Emydura victoriae)

To remove leeches, put salt on them. This causes them to dehydrate and they drop off. If you are a smoker, you can also apply the tip of a lighted cigarette to the leeches head and it will soon let go.
