What is your favourite Australian reptile?

[Boondocker]

yea dannydee your right i think we have over a thousand species!

Actually, Mexico is at the very top of the heap with more species.

But for me, the woma python is my fav.

V gouldii
V kingorum
V mitchelli
V rosenbergi
V varius
V tristis
V mertensi

V indicus

Would love to keep V glauerti, V glebopalma and V pilbarensis. They're my faves which I haven't kept

Saltwater Crocodile and Coastal Taipan by far for me. As a non Australian (with no experience at all in Australian animals) they just seem uniquely cool.

 

[SteveNT]

Pig nosed turtle, Perentie, Moloch, Boyd's Angle Headed Dragon, Frillie, Saltie. (and all of the others).

Turtle frogs are very cool also.

 

[princessparrot]

Womas,black headed python, gts, gtp, boyds forest dragon, eastern water dragon, olive python

 

[Lawra]

Woma and lace monitor

[lizardwhisperer]

Too hard to pick, I love them ALL, the dangerous ones I prefer to admire from a safe distance through a long lens though.

 

[Flexxx]

hard choice eather black headed python, tiger snake or crocodile

 

[Rlpreston]

Actually, Mexico is at the very top of the heap with more species.

But for me, the woma python is my fav.

I read somewhere too that we just jump ahead (by about 50 I think it was) but either way we were heading up to 900 talk about lucky!



I would have to say all time favourite would be the Salties and Perentie. I like em big

 

[Rialla]

As far as snakes go, I LOVE the look of the green tree python!
As for lizards, I've always been partial to blue tongues and frilled necks.

I haven't actually gotten any herps yet, and I don't know much about them... I'm a total noob, and am researching both blue tongues and bearded dragons (I'm a bit too chicken to start off with a snake... I need to build my way up to it, lol! ). - Though I reckon I'll probably end up going with a bluey, not only because I love their looks, but because their care and personality seems more to my liking (so far).
(Sorry if I'm babbling a bit too much about me, and not about the topic... I'm just excited, lol! )

 

[Kopeht]

Always had a soft spot for black headed pythons and scrubbies
But the salt water crocodile has gotta be at the top of my list.
