25.01.2022 Hope for the threatened Great Desert Skink AWC monitoring indicates that the species’ activity and breeding has increased at our Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary ...- home to one of the largest known populations under conservation management. This is great news for the future of the species, which, like many of Australia’s threatened natives, has disappeared from much of its former range.

17.01.2022 A nice little Murray's Skink from a walk in the park this morning.

13.01.2022 Had a cool visitor on the back veranda tonight. This large (for the species) Small-eyed Snake was cruising probably for sleeping skinks or unsuspecting house gecko's. Easy to see why some people confuse them with the largely diurnal Red-bellied Black Snake.

12.01.2022 We received the new edition prints of my book "Snakes of the Sunshine Coast region" late this week and I am stoked with the results. Gloss rather than matt finish makes a huge difference! Slightly smaller format at A5 but more pages and some extra photos as well as a foreword by the Noosa mayor Tony Wellington. Couldn't be happier! See the website www.reptilesinfocus.com.au or contact me at [email protected] for details if you would like a copy.

11.01.2022 Come down and celebrate world environment day with us at cotton tree. All our t's are selling for $25, prints are a very affordable 3 for $10 and our newly released book, Snakes Of The Sunshine Coast are going for $25 as well. There's plenty of other great stalls hear selling organic plants, home cooked goodness, live music and more environmentally minded vendors then you can poke a stick at.

10.01.2022 If anyone is interested in a very cool calendar for next year you could do a lot worse than Ross McGibbon's 2021 reptile calendar (see the link below). I received this message from Ross and I'm more than happy to help get the word out for a couple of good causes. "It’s fundraising time again and I’m promoting my 2021 Calendar which raises money for the Royal Flying Doctors Service and the Global Snakebite Initiative".

10.01.2022 28 x 43 Snakes Of The Sunshine Coast 2018 wall calendars. Limited numbers available, $15 ea with $1 from each sale going directly to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy.

09.01.2022 Just watched Call of the Wild on Australian Story. Amazing people doing amazing things to help Australian wildlife with absolutely no government assistance. Watch it on ABC IView if you missed it. It's heartening to know that in this crazy world we live in that there are still some people out there who actually care. There are many many more who do this without any recognition whatsoever - I salute you all, you are bloody legends!

07.01.2022 Got to see a real live dinosaur up close today.

07.01.2022 It has been quite a while between posts here at Reptiles In Focus and we apologise for our slack approach of recent times. When the more mundane side of every day life is allowed to dominate the truely important and stimulating aspects seem to get pushed into the background for some obscure reason. For example the book on frogs that had been all but completed a little over a year ago is still (apart from a few new photographs) almost complete. Crazy eh! A couple of very good... new frog books have been launced recently as well making it all the more difficult to justify the time and expense required to get the bloody thing finished. That's our problem but in the meantime we have been convinced by some close friends to ease back into the social side of things by blogging about anything and everything nature, particularly reptile and frog related especially our trips to photograph these beautiful creatures. So we would like to advise that the first of these new blogs entitled Lamington National Park October 2018, has recently been posted on our website at www.reptilesinfocus.com.au Below are a few of the photos from the blog so please feel free visit and check it out and don't forget if you have the time to provide some feedback which would really be very much appreciated. Cheers, Mike.
