A tail that can curl around and grip onto branches to help climb.

I would love to see a wild Pink Tongue!

I have a new enclosure all set up for them and just have to track down a breeder with a couple of babies for sale

I found 2 more reptiles for you to ID

I found this skink - is it a water skink? Sorry about the bad pic.

And something a bit more intimidating :shock: Brown Snake right? Or Taipan? The faces are very similar, but I think its too dark to be a Taipan. Either way, I didnt try to get too close!!! I stayed about 5m away at least and ZOOOOOMED in. It was quite small, at about 1m.

Yes, it is a Pink Tongue Skink - they are kind of like a tree climbing Blue Tongue. They aren't rare at all in the right areas.

Hey Jonno, slightly off topic but do Blue Tongues climb at all? We've got what I've always assumed was a smallish Blue Tongue living in a drain in my drive way. Last year we came home one afternoon to find it sitting at the door way, but to get there it would have needed to make it's way up 6 or 7 concrete stairs which I thought was odd

I'm pretty sure their bodies are too heavy. They are terrestrial animals

I have had Blueys & Bobtails climb 3 or 4 feet up chicken wire.

Cool, I thought it would be a lot of effort for it to get up to a barren bit of concrete but there you go.

the first lizard is a pink tongue, the second is an Eastern Water Skink and the third herp is an Eastern Brown Snake....that looks very similar to the eb at Australia Zoo

Cheers,
