 |

| Here is a friends photo of a wild Lialis burtonis from when we were in Kakadu National Park. I think the red phase is very rare in captivity. These are not my favourite genus of legless lizards but they are stunning as i'm sure you will agree. |

They are cool, really weird geckos. I've kept sheltopusiks before, they're absolutely nuts. Something weird about how legless lizards move, really jolty and unpredictable...makes them more fun  |

Beauty mate.
I keep Lialis burtoni and they are wonderful captives if a little hard for the average keeper. Because of thier lizard diet it isn't easy to convert them. I now buy frozen lizards for them

sounds good Matt, you any ideas on the sexes of yours? would be great to breed something like that, it's a shame a few more Australian reptiles weren't available.

Scott - All mine are unfortunately female 
Finding a male or anyone willing to bring any over to the UK is like Venus' arms

Great photo, Dan - thanks for sharing.
Ah I wondered how you managed to get them feeding Matt (assuming you're referring to the ones you got from Lauren that is). Have you got any photos Matt - I'd love to see them again...
