Ctenotus, Cyclodomorphus and Lerista question

[hornet]

Just wondering what species in these groups are in captivity, i know there are a couple of Ctenotus. What species apart from C. gerrardii are in captivity from Cyclodomorphus and finally, any Lerista out there?

 

[JasonL]

C. michaeli are out there

 

[hornet]

know any breeders?

 

[JasonL]

1 Occational breeder, I've been trying to get some myself. I kept one years ago, they are great skinks and easy to keep on their own but very aggressive.

 

[hornet]

let me know if you track any down

 

[JasonL]

I've been trying for a few years now

I know its not what you are asking about but there are some central earless dragons on RDU AHC.

Im also after these type of lizards.

 

[hornet]

link? are they from jochem?

 

[hornet]

found it, hope he gets back to me this time.

With the skinks i think a few of them are on the legal feeder list, so you could just catch some and say they are for food for something. I cant find the list but there is one somewhere. Im fairly sure c.rubustus and garden skinks and those stripy wall skinks are on it.

 

[hornet]

i know but i would love to be able to breed and share then with other keepers.

 

[cris]

Yeah i know what you mean, i was thinking of writing a letter to the CEO and asking for permsion to catch keep garden skinks and C.virgatus but never got round to it. Might be worth a shot since they are happy for them to be used as feeders, not to mention how many of thousand get mowed everday.

Also do you have the feeder skinks list?

 

[hornet]

no i dont, i did ask about collection permits a while back for carlia species but have been talking to a local ranger so will ask her.

 

[hornet]

i do know of a breeder of garden skinks in bris, you probably already know who is tho lol

 

[geckodan]

I have Cyclodomorphous casuarinae but still too young to breed. There are a small number of C. melanops in the zoo system. I am not aware of any lerista. I have Ct, pantherinus, leonhardi, robusta, taeniolatus to name a few.

 

[hornet]

breeding ctenotus this season?

 

[geckodan]

no i dont, i did ask about collection permits a while back for carlia species but have been talking to a local ranger so will ask her.

NPWS service are quite reasonable with regards to collect from the wild permits BUT you must get past the DPI ethics committee at a fee of $500 to ask (non refundable) and no private has made it through that I am aware of (if you are not part of a uni staff then you have no right to do it - that's their attitude).

 

[hornet]

also get my pm reygopods?

I also have a question directed at Danny in regards to skinks.

Will you be breeding G.queenslandiae? If so, what price?
