Still waiting for it to warm up

 This weekend was a right off. Laid up at home with minor health issues but as it turned out  the weather wasn't that flash either so the timing couldn't have been better.

I am planning a weekend away in the next few weeks so hopefully I will be able to report some interesting finds including some of the critters that I need photos of to finish the project.

Worst case scenario at least I should have some fresh reptile and amphibian photos to post.

 

Once again just to keep some continuity up to the blog I am attaching a couple of reptile photographs from the past year or so, hope you enjoy them.

I will also add another list at the end, this time of the remaining frog calls that I need to record to add to interactive computer program which will complement the book when it comes out.

 

 

 

This Carpet Python was photographed in my backyard a while back.

 

 

An unusually coloured Common Tree Snake with a heap of brown mixed in with the more common green colouration.

 

 

 A specky juvenile Eastern Brown Snake - beautiful animal.

 

 

Major Skink, one of my favourites again.

 

 

A gravid Jacky Dragon.

 



A local Murray's Skink another spectacular animal.

 

A Southern Leaf-tailed Gecko. A forest dwelling master of camouflage.

 

 

And finally a local Southern Angle-headed Dragon, another spectacular resident

of our sub tropical rainforests.

 

 

To finish off just another boring list of frog calls that I hope to record this spring.
