Thank you Prof Victor W Fazio III for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere We haven't been able to separate genders out, both looking the same. These are highly variable in shade & colour, from VERY pale grey (but not worn), through darker browns, to having a touch of orange patching on some. We've seen them during the day, walking around Ellura, as well as night lights. | |||||
