Southwest Qld - Part 1, Snakes & Geckos

[DanTheMan]

In addition to Matt's post(s) here are some pictures that I got on this trip. I can't be bothered re-counting the number species of reptiles we found, but excluding all the various garden skinks, I think there was around 35-36? Majority of them being new to us, Matt can confirm that if he can be bothered using his brain.

I'll start with the snakes and geckos found, only 1 snake got away without it's photo taken, which was a Western Brown.

Mulga - P. australis

Different animal

A rather orange Spotted Black - P. guttatas

Juvie

And another

Myal - Suta suta

Brown Tree - Boiga irregularis

Geckos

Eastern Stone - Diplodactylus vitattus

Bynoes - Heteronotia binoei

Golden Tailed - Strophurus taenicauda

Eastern Dtella - Gehyra dubia

Tessellated - Diplodactylus tessellatus

Variegated Dtella - Gehyra variegata

Marbled Velvet - Oedura marmorata

Northern Spiny Tailed - Strophurus ciliaris

Eastern Spiny Tailed - Strophurus williamsi

Beaked Gecko - Rhynchoedura ornata

Steindachner's - Diplodactylus steindachneri

Granite Belt Leaf-Tailed - Saltuarius wyberba
We found 4 of these within 15 minutes, more than we'd hoped for! Origonal Tail

Regenerated Tail

The flood waters did come in handy a few times, giving the wagon a bit of a wash

Or even yourself!

Great photos, I love the geckoes. Must have been hundreds of frogs around with all that water.

There sure was, hard to avoid them at times, the road was crawling with them! Photo's of them to come, you can ID them for us!

Wow Geckos are cool! Golden Tailed and Northern Spiny Tailed especially caught my eye.

Nice pictures!
There was 39 new species for me but less for you by 2 maybe?

 

[DanTheMan]

Holy crap, all new? So there was old species ontop of that that we found? Such as the lacie, blueys etc?

I just realised I forgot the frogs and turtle pics.. Oh well you'll be putting them up will you?

Yeah I think about 43 species all up??? Not including all the garden skinks.

Ive still got snakes, frogs and turtles to put up but I have no ID's on any of the frogs.
