and the very confusing lowland female,she was mated a heck of a lot,shes showing all the signs of producing again,so hopefully she actually spits some out this season,lolImage
heres 2 of last years hold back lowlands blotchys,notice the paleness of one of t hem,it always looked different to the rest of the lowlands born last season,but is getting paler with every shed,will be interesting to see how it turns out come adult stageImage

heres the pink tongued western,its growing well with its 3 siblingsImage
had given up trying to get a pic of its tongue,took about 600 snaps and only got its blue tip,but on my way back to the herp room i took a pic and with great timing the tongue made an appearance with perfect timingImage
heres a big kimberley femaleImage
Image
heres my newest blueys,northerns resulting from a mating between a male and female kimberley,and one mating also from a darwin phase northern,will be interesting to see how these turn out,im thinking very nt looking,but long tails and a paleish lookImage

What kind of Egernia is that in the top picture, not a Cunnigham, is it? I like the way they look...seem to be pretty big, guess I have never seen them in real life, so no real judgement of size. :)

do you breed your cunninghams at all?

by Richard.C
have in the past,only had the 7 cunninghams for 2 years now i think,hoping they may still have bubs this season,though its getting late,they did show courtship signs back when the blotchys were mating,so who knows,3 are probably a smidge to young yet,and i think only one,maybe 2 of the bigger ones are females,but yeah not 100 percent,as years ago,a really big one that was agressive with other ones at times and i assumed had to be a male had 4 bubs,so yeah,hard to tell there sex,lol,i guess if i see mating and babys resuly,i will know for sure,there babys are very small compared to blueys to,so the water dragons could easily eat them before i even knew they were born,so may have to set them up in there own set up for next season

heres an old pic of the western and stumpy raise up cage showing size diff between them,the westerns have now way out grown my 2 stumpys,which is a first for me,ive raised the shingles with blotcheds and easterns before and the shingles always ruled the feed bowl and grew quicker,but these westerns are like bottomless pits,time is coming for the little stumpers to move into a new cage,ill get a pic of the westerns and shingles tommorrow to show size diff
