whats the liquid paper on the head for?


I have no prob with liquid paper for marking animals but on one he's put it right over the animal's pineal eye. That can't be great.

hopefully with a couple of guys doing well with them the price may drop a little,they are a nice species to keep

does matt still have centralians or did he sell them all off,hopefully he holds on to his westerns and has continued luck with them

Thats completely normal. I've considered selling my ball python collection a few times to get one or two of these guys.

He is still working with the Centralians and hopefully he will have success with them again. I would also gladly trade all my ball pythons for some westerns. They are high on my list now and I am very happy to see that people are producing them here. Such a cool skink!

I am hoping to see some in the wild on my next trip to Australia. I found a couple on my first trip over, but unfortunately they were all DORs. Nothing worse than seeing one of your target species dead on the road! Beautiful pattern, though!

You guessed it! It was my welcoming party to Uluru. It is sad that they care so much if the animals leave the country, but very little if they are killed daily on the roads or pushed into extinction by invasives or mining companies.

id hate to think how many meet that fate on a year round basis


the protective agencies are bad enough with letting us keep them,let alone going over seas

thankfully they have allowed some to be collected from the wild in recent years
