QuestionHi!
I was wondering if you could identify the lizard in the following photos:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fir0002/Unidentified_lizard
It was taken in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia in January. It was a cool morning (unusual because this is during summer) and the lizard was probaby getting heat because it was not disturbed at all as I took photos.
Hope you can help!
Peter
AnswerDear Peter,
thank you for your question.
You made some great photos of a Bearded Dragon. I'm quite sure it's not Pogona vitticeps and I think it's either Pogona barbata or Pogona minor minor. Since you found the lizard in Victoria, it's probably P. barbata, P. minor minor usually does not live there, but in Western Australia with smaller populations in South Australia and the Northern Territories..
I hope I was of some help to you
