Doesn't seem to be a long neck? Front part of the shell is missing which makes it's neck look a little longer, but it's definitely a short neck. Looks like a species of Macquarie River Turtle (Emydura macquarii).
I'd say it's a Eulamprus of some sort. Amplus seems to be the most likely, but could be a brachysoma or sokosoma? You can check out the other Eulamprus species here - http://www.arod.com.au/arod/reptilia/Squ....
Thanks everyone, this is why I do what i do, makes it all worthwhile when you get to save something like this.
No, it's garden skink size.
It was actually. He had a wound towards the back of him. I don't think he was quite 100%.
Looks like a type of Net-casting spider. Don't know enough about them for a specific species, maybe Deinopis subrufa or Avella angulata?
McCoys has 5, maybe there is another digit there somewhere... :)
Yeah nice article! If you look at the distribution map on AROD, it's definitely found in the area where Mark spotted it. Plus it does appear to have no ear at all whereas the McCoys has a small opening. Not sure if Mark noticed how many toes it had, but that would make it an obvious call.
Tough one... potentially Eastern three-toed earless skink (Hemiergis talbingoensis)? http://www.arod.com.au/arod/reptilia/Squ...
