Eastern (Brisbane eastern suburbs locale) Blue Tongue DOR

[RoryBreaker]

Although sad , road killed herps I find immensely interesting. They are the next best thing to finding a living wild animal in regards to colour forms and population size.

During my travels today at work I came across this unfortunate soul and thought that maybe some of the keepers from outside of aus will find it interesting as well. I found it on the side of the road in the suburb of Chandler which is on Brisbane's east side. I grew up on the east side of brissie and this is a good representation of what the average eastern from that part of the world looks like.



Interesting too , still a day to go until spring officially begins.

Cheers

Gorgeous bluey. Too bad it's no longer alive. That has to be at least the 8th eastern that I have seen (in pictures only) that is known to be from Brisbane. I can't believe how similar they all looked. From what I have seen, Brisbane seems to be one area that has a distinct "look" to it's easterns.

They seem to have flatter heads than other blueys. Oops poor taste.

Not exactly what I meant Scott.

Love the color on him.

Wow it looks like the car just nicked him on the nose

looking at tail section id say its copped a few cars,blueys are remarkedly tough critters,they dont tend to pan cake unless lots of cars go over them,some survive the head crunch or at least for quite some time
