G'day all, This is from the last herping trip I did in Perth. It's been posted on another forum so you may have already read this. -------------------- I've had a few weekends to go herping locally so I've decided to knock off a few of the "within reason" species. These are critters that...

Lizard loot row delays smuggling sentence Big Game Reptiles? Are they a member on here? -H

Ah, I've just found this section of the site (I rarely scroll down) so I'll post something in it. I think my other threads should/could probably be moved here (mods?). You may have read this, it's been posted on another site already... ------ G'day all, I did a survey of a tenement for...

G'day all, I posted this on another reptile forum. There are non-geckos in there as well as a few geckos.... Cheers, Henry ----- Recently I was "lucky" enough to pay a visit to the Onslow/Paraburdoo region for work. "YES!" I thought (probably cried aloud) "A chance at a few new...

G'day all, Here are a few photos of some of the geckos we get around Perth. Delma fraseri, found under a brick in some Perth bushland. Apparently these guys are pretty common but I've only seen two. These ones get rather large, about 45-50cms long. A much smaller burrowing species thats...

I managed to locate a few "rare in captivity" species out on a work trip so I thought I'd include it on here. Since vertebralis has been smuggled out of Australia now, I guess they won't be rare for much longer. I spent a week working out in the west australian goldfields region. I managed to...

G'day all, Here are a few more geckos I recently found up north. I was able to spend a bit of time around Darwin before flying to the Kimberley. I was really lucky to see a couple of species I had never seen in the wild. The highlight was the Giant Cave Gecko. We saw about 5-6 in a couple...

G'day, I uploaded some more photos of Nephrurus shaei that we've been finding doing some surveys in the North Kimberley. They were lurking around large sandstone outcrops, but occasionally we'd find one in some sandy woodland. It was interesting to see the young ones being quite agile on the...

I know it sounds totally bizarre, but geckos not only occur in small plastic boxes, but also in their natural habitat!!! I've been travelling about NSW in Australia recently and I took a few photos of the geckos (and other reptiles) I found. I've only posted the gecko ones. easily the most...

G'day all, Here are a few recent photos of some of last seasons hatchling P. schraderi. They are probably the most trouble free gecko I've kept. They eat crickets and woodroaches without any trouble and juveniles don't need to be kept separately. With a bit of luck I'll breed a few more this...

Here's a few pics of some animals I had success breeding this season. They are very rarely bred in captivity. -H

Heres a couple of pics of the levis I'll be breeding this year. A mate bred the two males pictured as I need some new, prettier, blood in my lines. -H

G'day all, I've got bored, so heres something I've put together this afternoon. This is a quick run down of a 2 week trip i had in the West Kimberley. We were up their camping and doing a bit of exploring through the coastal areas. We were never more than about 10kms from the coast, and saw...

Hello all, One of the most common species I picked up in sandstone areas was the velvet gecko Oedura gracilis. Adults and juveniles were common under thin pieces of sandstone, also moving around in the evening on warm nights. A very beautiful species that does not exist in captivity (to my...

A reptile species I've been lucky enough to photograph is the "gecko of no common name" Gehyra xenopus. Check your book, they have a very limited distribution, but are locally common where they are found. Interestingly, these guys don't seem to turn up in areas where other large Gehyra species...
