I'm bored, let's do another guess the herp!

[Bluetongue1]

The previous three guesses are incorrect.

I grew up in NSW.

 

[BredliFreak]

Where abouts in NSW

 

[Bluetongue1]

Coastal NSW - don' want make it too easy for you.

 

[pinefamily]

lace monitor

 

[Bluetongue1]

No, not a Lacie.

Hint: It would probably help to find out more about its general characteristics, and thereby narrow down the field, then to being having species guesses at this stage.

 

[BredliFreak]

Is it arboreal?

 

[eipper]

Actually off you go kids was begin your questions ....

 

[Bluetongue1]

My apologies Scott, I misunderstood. Still, there is no reason we cannot have two on the go at once - "E" for yours and "B' for mine.

B is not aboreal at all.

Is E a lizard?

 

[BredliFreak]

For E: Does it live in central Aus (southern NT, Northern SA, Western QLD and Eastern WA)?
For B: Is it a skink

 

[pinefamily]

Is B only found in NSW?

 

[Bluetongue1]

B is a skink and found in 3 states.

 

[BredliFreak]

Does B live in ACT?

 

[Bluetongue1]

Yes, B does occur in the ACT.

Things seem to have stagnated a little here, so i figure it’s time to give another clue...

I lived in Sydney in the days before regulations - when one could collect your own reptiles locally. And this is exactly what I did.

 

[BredliFreak]

Egernia/Liopholis?

 

[Bluetongue1]

No, although did have both of those.

 

[BredliFreak]

Eulamprus?

 

[Bluetongue1]

Same answer - no, but I did keep them for a while (EWS).

Hint: You are getting closer...

 

[BredliFreak]

Concinnia tenuis, lampropholis?

 

[Bluetongue1]

That is two guesses - so I am going to ignore the second one.
No, but similar in size.

 

[BredliFreak]

What kind of habitat does it occur in?
