Eastern water Dragon

This little guy was maybe a metre long. I suspect not fully mature but handsome nonetheless.

The size surprised me! I always thought of these in the 20-30 cm range, lol. The only lizard in my area is the five-lined skink, which is ~15 cm in length. Posted 3 years ago

  If it wasn't the land of the parrots here it would be the land of the lizards.
  From Wiki... "Including their tails, which comprise about two-thirds of their total length, adult females grow to about 60 cm (2 feet) long, and adult males can grow slightly longer than one metre (39 inches) and weigh about 1 kg."
  Also, often when I'm fishing, they can make enough of a splash by jumping from a tree to force a change of undies. Posted 3 years ago
