Are these Pygmy or Dwarf Beardies

Hi all,

For those of you who keep either/or of these species, what do you think these young are from - Pygmy (henrylawsoni) or Dwarf (minor). The seller says minor but I'm not entirely convinced. The patterning doesn't look right to me and I find my dwarfs have longer tails than the pygmys.

Falconboy those are definitely not Minor. If you look at the pics in this thread below and compare them to that photo you will see the difference. Some people get confused between Pygmy's and Dwarfs thinking they are the same.

Seems someone might get a bit of a suprise hey!

This is what he emailed me:

"they pogona minor minor, the dwarf ones, the bloke at the pet shop said that that black soil n dwarf beardies are the same. but i have pogona minor minor, are you interested in buying some??"

I think I might send him to this thread.
