Kimberly tristis clutch laid

It's been a weird season here. One hell of an unending wet season. Constant power outages. But these Kimberly tristis have been pretty keen.

Found another scrubby. I was holding 2 cats under my arms putting them into their night room when we all seen it at once, hence I got a little scratched up. They are indoor cats, but unfortunately their night room is downstairs and you have to go outside to get to it. The scrubs have been hanging around a but lately.

Clearly this bloke is doing something right. Kimberly tristis

Lacies are normally not too hard to get tot his point. But this girl has been really shy. Its taken around a year to get to this point.

The pygmy desert potato is looking a bit porky.

Almaden orientalis getting into some hearts. With a good dusting vitamin powder and some home blended chook egg shell.

First clutch of Ackies out for this season. These guys should colour up pretty nice if the parents are anything to go by.

Fresh out of the oven, Northern Giant Cave Geckos. Pseudothecadactylus lindneri. Such cool little guys.

I'm not posting anything at the moment because there isn't anything to post about. Been raining like the below since Wednesday morning and expected to be the same at least tomorrow. Dude next door said his rain gauge total this morning since it started was at +1000mm excluding three overflows over night. Power has been out since mid Wednesday, probs won't be back on for 3 more days. Could only just get more fuel today because of flooding. Have a gene for the house but reptiles are removed from that area. There is a chance everything incubating will be buggered, or at least a longer time hatching, good experiment I suppose. Perentie season I believe is a wash. They were looking to lay jusy before this kicked in. 2 more days would have done it. Some eggs scattered, anything retained will be duds.

Cyclone may have been downgraded from yesterday but has still been like this all day. A few trees to move off the driveway when it stops raining.

Few orientalis out for a feed. They already ate more egg before hand so they are a bit more chill about it here.

Varanus storri has dropped a nice clutch today. Outside kept in FNQ. Nice clutch size for storri and no duds. #varanusstorri #storrsmonitor #varanuskeeper #aussiereptiles #monsoonmonitors

Just doing a general check over a few of the mitchelli hatched the other week. Looking good #varanusmitchelli #reptilesofinstagram #aussiereptiles #monsoonmonitors #monitorlizard

Varanus scalaris NT locality about to drop a clutch. The best way to tell is the shrunken tail base and a strong disinterest in food. #varanusscalaris #monitorkeeper #aussiereptiles #monsoonmonitors #jesusbuiltmyhotrod

Been waiting 2 days for this girl to finish up laying her clutch. 4 good and a few duds. Now for a bit of a feed. #varanusscalaris #monitorkeeper #australianreptiles #reptilesofinstagram

Varanus mitchelli are almost all done. Cute little bastards. #varanusmitchelli #monsoonmonitors #varanuskeeper #monitorlovers #australianmonitorlizards #varanuskeeper #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram

Varanus mitchelli egg candling of one tub. Think its about 2/3rd the way there on this lot.

New mertens, fresh out the oven.
