Re: varieties of cunningham skinks
They are quite different. I do like the spotty sort of pattern on the 4 month old. They are closer to the types I've seen for sale in SA. Where are the New England types found?

Re: varieties of cunningham skinks
Hi Richard,
Your new England's are developing nicely. I still ave my breeding colony plus now I have some more new englands from a different line. They are a bit different to my original line. I also have some Sydney sandstone cunninghams. They were sometimes referred to as Egernia cunninghami kreftii. Quite different looking to other varieties . Less spikey and smaller. I think Cunninghams are very underrated .

Re: varieties of cunningham skinks
Richard, I was visiting a reptile dealer not to long ago.. and they had 2 Cunninghams that were just straight dark grey, with a little shade of red-brown around the throat area.. would do you suspect that locale would be?

Re: varieties of cunningham skinks
not real sure,wouldnt like to guess with out seeing a pic,could be the common variety,though most have pattern to them,have a look on google pics and see if theres a similar one there,there range is quite large as is the variety of them
some qld ones look predominantly black
only greyish ones i can think of was some silver and black banded new england ones that used to see in melb pet stores a few years ago,havnt seen any since though unfortunatly

Re: varieties of cunningham skinks
They are nice Richard, thanks for posting. Sandstone cunninghams are quite different. I wouldn't be surprised if they are re classified if they already haven't been. Like I said, they used to be referred to as kreffti in older text.
I am looking forward to getting some Vic specimens. I miss keeping them and love their large size.

Re: varieties of cunningham skinks
Those are awesome Richard! Wish Cunninghams weren't so picky as to who you put with them...well, wish that in general about the egernia...
I would really like to have a group of Cunninghams again, if I had more room (especially some like that!)...maybe they could hang outside here with the right setup? Hmmm... Might have to try a Stokesii outdoor project to see how that works out...
