Heaps of Pic's from Herping!!!

[Acrochordus]

Well here are some pics of some herps i have found lately. I saw a single Black Rock Skink (Egernia saxatilis) which ran away before i could get pic's, 3 Cunningham Skinks (Egernia cunninghami) i got pic's of one the other 2 were very skittish, also about 20 Broad Tailed Geckos (Phyllurus platurus), all had there original tails i only bothered to get pic's of a very large specimen, these all were in the Sandstone Caves around here..

Also saw a single Eastern Bearded Dragon (Pogona Barbata) which i was hoping it would be aggressive but it decided to run of the rock it was on, but i got picture of it. 1 single Jacky Dragon (Amphibolurus muricatus) best looking Jackie that i have seen in a while but jumped of the log it was on into thick vegation. 1 single Eastern Blue- Tongued Lizard (Tiliquas cincoides) it was hiding under a rock i got pictures.

Also saw the heaps of Eastern Water Skinks Eastern (Eulamprus quoyii) Eastern Water Dragons(Physignathus lesueurii) Copper- Tailed Skinks (Ctenotus taeniolatus) and Garden Skinks (Lampropholus delicata), Grass Skinks (Lampropholus guichenoti), Weasel Skinks (Saproscincus mustelinus), Wall Skinks (Cryptoblepharus virgatus) got pictures of all them.

Also found an Echidna only just missed being hit by a Motobike i moved it of the road and got some pic's, also some frogs which yous can identify for me Also i was Herping in Sandy Heaths with lots of Rocky Outcrops that had a Waterfall running through it.
Thanks Tim.

What a sensational area you have to herp in! WOW! I'm very envious!!

 

[ShnakeyGirl]

They're awesome pics by the way, I especially like the EWD...I love those buggers

 

[Acrochordus]

Yea it is a pritty good area to find herps, There is heaps of EWD around here, but that one was found at night in the Sandstone Caves, like the Broad Tailed Geckos.
Thanks Tim.

If you found the frogs north of Sydney then from L-R they are Litoria wilcoxi, Limnodynastes peroni and either a Litoria peroni/tyleri. Based on the habitat it looks more likely for Litoria peroni. Nice shot of the echidna, there are lots around at the moment.
