Whilst checking on the vic alpine blotchies today i witnessed a couple of cunninghams fooling around,these guys are hard to take pics of when fooling around,so i decided to film there antics,with the blotch males starting to shed now it looks like outdoor skink porn season is just about to open

Thanks for that dood.must learn how to link it

The small cunningham doing the hassling was a young one i got with original group,i was hoping it was a female but looks like im wrong,it usually goes and stays in the lowlands side of enclosure,but these guys can squeeze through to either side and lately have been chopping and changing sides as a trio and sticking close,the biggest one that bormallu hangs with the female was with them earlier but moved off when these to started fooling around

These Cunninghams are your pets? I was thinking they got into your enclosure some how. It is funny how the Blotchies crawl right over them!

[Richard.C]

or vice versa,cunninghams climb over the blotchies,at feed time when the blotchies pile up around the food bowls the cunninghams use them as stepping stones to access the tucker,lol

[Richard.C]

things look promising for that cunningham,starting to bulk up,will have to pull finger out and make some cunningham enclosures,often the blotchies and water dragons beat me to the tiny cunningham babies

Are the Sydney reds old enough to breed Richard?

[Richard.C]

Naah,last seasons babies,they are growing well though,i have some new englands that im thinking are still not quite big enough but they were chasing each other around and a couple got scuffed up so see what happens,only biggens i have are the north of melb varieties
