Justin,

In addition to Jerry walls book on Blue-Tongue Skinks, if you haven't already done so, check out the subject on one of the search engines. I have found some good material that way.

Best Regards,
Jean

Hi, Pipa:
I'd written Dr. Shea about that very book about a year ago and he thought it'd be out soon in English, but I guess it's still in the works. I can't wait! Do you have any info. on its supposed release date?

Hi Edward,

I tried to get news for you, but they are not sure if there will be a translation at all. Perhaps we will get more information at the Hamm Show. I'll keep you informed.

What a shame! I have been really looking forward to it since Dr. Shea mentioned it. He had written me that that book would include his article on T. rugosus palarra, which I was particularly interested in. Well, please do let me know if you learn anything new about it.
Great picture of your shinglebacks, by the way. Thanks for sharing.
