Thanks for posting the pictures. I have resuced a couple of large lizards over the years and have to say that the requirements to maintain the Northern Brown are really easy in comparison. Two points for indigenous. I did find two small slugs yesterday turning over rocks and pieces of wood, although not before a fallen tree branch poked up thru the bottom of my pants leg making me jump a few feet. The little Brown was unimpressed when I put them in the aquarium. If you can send me some slugs that would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I'm offering the right size prey. In other news, LB (short for Little Brown) has a really gentle and curious disposition when being held to apply Silvadine. My first instinct was to not handle him too much to avoid stress but I think he's actually happier being out of the tank weaving around my hands and arms... he hooks his tail around my wrist for security and flicks his tongue checking everything out. I'm enamoured...
