I am currently down in Vic to see the family and celebrate my sisters 21st. since its been a few years i decided i'd best make the most of it and find some herps!
Thankfully i was able to be shown around to see some herps and i was more than excited by what i have found the past 3 days. as i've never herped melbourne almost everything was new with only a few species overlapping with north qld.
On to what we found
egernia whitii
white lipped snake
eastern blue tongue
blotched blue tongue
lymnodynastyes tasmanensis
parasuta flagellum, when scared they curl into a ball
nephurus milii
delma impar in 2 color phases
spade foots
morethia boulengeri
lerista bougainvillii juvenile
adult
pseudomoia entrecasteauxii
niveoscincus metallicus
egernia coverntryii
aprasia parapulchella
crinea significana
Pobblebonk frogs
litoria ewingi
litoria pearoni (i cant remember)
forgot the name of this one
we also managed to see these but i didnt get photos. i could have cried as i watched the raniformis swim away...
ctenotus robustus
litoria raniformis
i also missed a lot of skinks along the yarra that were a bit quick for me to get photos or ID.
I'm still yet to find a tiger or copperhead but i still have two more days! To rub it in they even advertise that snakes are abundant in some areas...
just to finish off not a reptile but a funny little bird, the fairy penguin
Hope there is some tigers and copperhead shots to come
