Together with some of our 4WD-owning friends we headed out to Stockton (Worimi National Park) for a weekend of camping in the dunes. We bought a new tent since our last trip, one you can put up in 60seconds, so a good reason to try that out.

Today Gex got his permanent home. A small terrarium filled with red desert sand and a hiding rock. It has a heated floor (only for the winter) and a moonlight lamp to see him when he gets out in the dark.

We have a new member of the family, Gex. He was born on December 15th, so 2 months old now
Gex is a Eastern Stone Gecko (Diplodactylus vittatus). They are a robust gecko that occurs throughout the south-eastern portion of Australia. However that does not mean you can grab one from the wild. You need a Native Animals Keepers licence and can only acquire them by trading with other keepers. Gex eats live crickets. He will get a new house to live in tomorrow, so there will be more pictures soon.

In preparations for future trips, we thought it would be a good idea to fix up the cargo area of our car, to fix the car-fridge so its not going all over the place. We made a false floor out of plywood, covered it with carpet and bolted it in place (using existing tie-down holes in the floor). The fridge mounting bracket go onto the false floor, and the trimming around the edges prevent things damaging the fridge. The end result looks pretty good!
