Stealth-mode skink 🦎

Check out this Narrow-banded sandswimmer (Eremiascincus fasciolatus) lying in wait for an unsuspecting cricket to get too close (hint: I am the supplier of said crickets and she is VERY aware of that 🦗)

🚨🐍 NATIONAL THREATENED SPECIES DAY 2026 🐍🚨

September 7 is National Threatened Species Day, where we shine a spotlight on some of our most threatened and endangered species.

Australia has an ever-growing list of animals and plants facing extinction, many of which you may never have heard of. Today, we intoduce you to Hope, the Murray-Darling (or Victorian) carpet python - an endangered species here in Victoria 🐍

🦎 IT'S WORLD LIZARD DAY! 🦎

Australia is home to more species of lizard than any other country, with over 800 species of skinks geckos, dragons, goannas and even legless lizards found here - and most of them found nowhere else. Big and small, fast and slow, from the common and widespread to the highly endangered species, we believe ALL of our lizard species are amazing and worth protecting!

We have a huge soft spot for our Aussie lizards here at AWE, so here's a selection of just a few of our scaly mates 🦎

🐍 BLACK-HEADED PYTHON 🐍

One of Australia's most unique and unusual pythons, this species specialises in eating other reptiles - including venomous snakes!

🐍 WORLD SNAKE DAY 🐍

July 16th is World Snake Day, and with over 210 species of snake found here in Australia, we think that's plenty of reasons to celebrate!

It's also a great time to highlight the plight of some of our slithery friends. Pictured here is Big Muzz, our male Victorian Carpet python (Morelia spilota metcalfei). Also known as a Murray-Darling or Inland carpet python, he is one of two python species found right here in Victoria; sadly, both are endangered in the state 😔

Want to learn more about Big Muzz and his wild counterparts? Stay tuned for a future video 🐍

Lizards without legs? 🦵🚫❓️

This is NOT a snake! This little sweetheart is an Eastern hooded scaly-foot (Pygopus schraderi) and she belongs to a family of lizards called Pygopodidae. They may look snake-like, but they're actually a type of gecko!

If you check out the second image, you'll see what is left of her legs - her front legs are gone and evolution has greatly reduced the back legs to allow her to slide through the sand and leaf litter of her habitat, and into burrows to chase down her favourite food, wolf spiders! 🕷🍽

Like other geckos (and VERY unlike snakes), she can lick her eyes clean, has external ear openings, and can let out a loud squeak when threatened!
