varieties of cunningham skinks

Another old picture. Unknown locale due to it being a zoo animal, late 90's from the Australian Reptile Park.



I am told the south coast of NSW is of similar appearance.

The Sydney reds look good. Haven't seen any for sale though.

I spotted the scabby submissive male 'throwing the leg' over the female this afternoon. The other male was happy enough to just watch.

Would have been nice for them to of done that while filming yesterday.

[Richard.C]

Haha,they have a habit of doing that,when i used to sit in pit taking pics of blotchies mating or filming them,the cunninghams would run around after each other,throw a leg over and be gone before i could click,lol,like they were messing with you

[RoryBreaker]

I made up a few head comparison pictures a while back to show the subtle difference in head shape on another forum. I have been meaning to get around to posting them in here, so here we go.

Sydney sandstone form.




Southern Queensland form.




I dunno if this helps at all.

cheers

[Richard.C]

Hmmm,the girls look longer nosed and flatter headed from snout to just past the eyes,the southern queensland fella looks like hes been chasin parked cars,lol

Nice looking both those forms

[mark_w]

Super interesting photos those. The shorter, more rounded face on the males is quite clear. I now need to go and look at my animals....
