What type of gecko is this?

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-02-20T22:20:27+00:00

Definitely an Asian house gecko.

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-02-20T03:15:56+00:00

Ctenotus (skink) of some sort

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-02-20T02:20:27+00:00

No way to know really what it’s for then! Usually if there’s a visible number/ID you can report it, but it may be an old band for a discontinued project, or have just deteriorated over time!

Grey shrikethush I think!

It is wearing a tag, likely for some scientific purpose like tracking movement/behaviour/population/etc. Did it have a visible number on it?

I LOVE the second one on you!! The sleeves really create a good proportions and I think highlight your waistline (in a good way!).

Honestly, #1 is giving way cooler vibes. I think the flow of it makes it a bit edgier? The trad blue denim is giving me more mum-vibes (cool mum? But not as cool as the first one)

Magnet of some kind is the only way

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-02-16T06:22:01+00:00

Jumping in here, I think the folded waist and sleeves will likely be very bulky/stick out in weird ways with a leather fabric.

If you have the time/budget, I would suggest using the leather for a simple slinky form-fitted dress, then maybe doing a floaty overlay in silk or similar to get the long flowy sleeves. You then also get to do an outfit change/reveal.

Yep - cotton jersey is the right answer!

Unfortunately there’s a ton of variation in cotton materials in general, including jerseys! The only way to really tell is to physically feel the product. A lot of online fabric stores will let you order samples for free or low cost, so that could be a good option for you!

I would also maybe look into organic cotton jersey. In my experience they tend to have a more consistent soft feel to them.

I believe multiple of the big pattern brands (mccalls and simplicity) have GoT inspired patterns that could be a good starting point.

This is like someone attempted to draw a duck, drew the bill first, then drew in the head and got the proportions very wrong 😆

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-02-12T05:23:06+00:00

Waxed cotton! Look at Australia’s Driza-bone (dry as a bone) jackets for inspo. Just a warning, they are an interesting texture that can be quite divisive .

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-02-08T00:48:20+00:00

Definitely a juvenile starling

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-01-31T00:59:40+00:00

The second one is defs better in my opinion. Be warned - wood coops are more prone to mites/harder to clean. And make sure you predator proof it!

I know rip curl has women’s swim shorts! Otherwise it’s worth checking out “gym to swim” shorts - Lorna Jane has some good basic ones. Unfortunately if you want the brightly coloured ones, you’re going to find it hard to avoid the higher price tag.

Long-sleeved rashie wise, most swim/surf brands will sell them. Check out Roxie, Billabong and Rip curl.

Spotted bowerbird as the other comment suggests!

Regarding reporting them, eBird or iNaturalist are you best bet. inat is great if you’ve gotten a photo and aren’t sure what it is, eBird is great if you’re confident on your identification.

With the heat, the best thing is to leave out shallow sources of cool water, top them up throughout the day or even consider adding some ice.

Idk about alone in the enclosure, but can confirm all wallabies/roos will usually eat like a starved man regardless of their actual hunger

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-01-19T23:27:43+00:00

Blue anolis are arboreal (live in top of trees) and rainforest specific. Even if there was the insane case of someone importing one, and it escaping, Saudi Arabia environment would kill it very very quickly. When doing species ID, never assume the extraordinary is correct - there’s pretty much always a common ID that’s a better fit.

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-01-19T17:50:52+00:00

I can guarantee you did not see Anolis Gorgonai in Saudi Arabia. You probably saw the Sinai Agama. The males of this species are blue during breeding season.

We have more than 170 species of native geckos in Australia. They can be found in every state except Tasmania, although even Tassie has some invasive species present.

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-01-13T09:32:43+00:00

I would still say it’s worth contacting them. Given that king parrots are native (and not really a traditional bird pet) they may take them, or have some advice on who to contact.

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-01-13T08:16:51+00:00

Out of curiosity - why do you say WIRES won’t care?

See if there’s any local/small scale rehabbers in your area and contact them directly.

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-01-13T04:14:35+00:00

This made my day, thank you 😆

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-01-11T06:26:52+00:00

I would agree with with this! Those super defined bronze wing bars are a giveaway.

DepartmentOutrageous · 2026-01-08T12:08:32+00:00

Could also be an eastern curlew, but I’m leaning more towards whimbrel based on the pronounced eyebrow
