Hey there, pythons are in very short supply here, but we get a heap of lizards, depending on where abouts in Dubbo you go.
There are a heap of bearded dragons around here, as well as shinglebacks. there are quite a few lacey's just outside of town, in most directions.
In town we get a lot of bluey's.

But yeah very void of pythons, we only get inlands here and they are sp****.

 

[W.T.BUY]

ok cool thx guys. Im not to fussed on anything venomous. and i know there is a few out there.

 

[Casey]

Ooh yeah forgot the water dragons...don't see them too much.

I'm going on what I get called out to relocate...and what I know has been found in Goonoo NP.
We do get other things I have picked up a coral snake, we get a few legless lizards and the like..My fave thats been found around here are bandy bandy's but again I haven't seen many at all.

Maybe I should get out there a bit more and look.

 

[ryanharvey1993]

sweet saw all those threads you saw heaps. so the trick to see so many geckos is to go at night?

yep just look around building and around rocky areas at night, you should see heaps of them

 

[W.T.BUY]

sweet getting excited. I really wanna see wild thickies as there meant to be very common but i have not seen one wild specimen

 

[ryanharvey1993]

where have you been looking? even in sydney if you go night herping you should see them. dont bother flipping rocks, its much harder to find them and wrecks the habitat, better when you find them active

 

[Casey]

Thought i'd put this pic up to show the coral snake I was really taken with it.

Its a pretty bad pic i have some better quality ones somewhere but have to find them

 

[W.T.BUY]

coral snakes and bandy bandys are realy realy cool. They look awsum in books.

what kinda habitat is best for them?

 

[ryanharvey1993]

anywhere rocky, or around buildings. most habitat will have them you just have to know where to look. you are guarenteed to see atleast a few species at night if you go looking

 

[Casey]

Hmm it seems i have spoken too soon...we do get some different little guys around here.

Got this one last night

 

[hodges]

Its always a treat finding Red-Naped snakes- nice find.

 

[Casey]

Yeah it was a nice find, a bit of a change to what i usually see anyway, it was found at the same place the coral snake was found, by the same people actually...Lucky them

 

[ryanharvey1993]

nice little snake. I totally love them, saw my first one just the other week out at warrumbungles.
