| History: This colony was discovered in 2007, in a residential garden, set between two garden centres. Neither garden centre has kept nor sold reptiles, so it is presumed that the lizards are sourced from an unintentional import with ornamental rocks or plants. More than one lizard has been observed, and mating has been witnessed and photographed. The area is marked for survey during 2008. |
