Heres the pics

Here are the pics they are not of the best quality and unfortunately I couldn't get them of the frogs or the lizard species but anyway.
We actually caught this coastal on the driveway out the front of the property.
This was the biggest and most aggresive of the three.
he was in great condition though, and not as aggressive as some captives I have seen.
I managed to get a shot of him snapping at my mate while my uncle was holding him aswell.

I'm from byron shire and its a great herping area. i see herps every where pink tongues, blueys, beardies, land mullets, brown and black snakes.
I see saw-shelled turtles and EWD in the local park in the middle of town. i get yellow faced whip snakes, carpets, green tree and Brown tree snakes and a hell of a lot of frogs in my backyard and this is just in the suburbs! 8)
plus we get the pests, cain toads and asian house geckos by the bucket full.
Yeah Byron Shire is great for seeing herps.
