yer actually i would like to here others opinions on this actually, i have thought it myself before, i have compared pics and he looks just like other barbata aswell as some vitti's. he is ment to be a barbata and i refer to him as one, as he show characteristics of one, does anyone think because of his large size his scales could "move", what i mean is my female as she is slowly fattening up and growing her head is broadening up and is getting wider and bigger.

thanks, the male is my pride and joy, by far my favourite herp, his name is beardie and he is the best beardie i have ever seen (as far as personality)

lol...they are all pics of the male, ment to be a barbata. im a little torn at the moment cause i have been told by a few that he looks like a barbata and then by a few more that he is a vitti, a few more opinions would be great to hear. its a bit of a pain cause i tride pretty hard to find the girl for him.

i remember hearing that a while ago but have discovered since that they can both have yellow mouths. i use to have a male central beardie that was identical to my female eastern, acually my aunty didnt believe me that is was a different lizard let alone different species. it had the same head shape and all, but was a central. im begining to think that there may be some that just show similar characteristic. i just dont want to cross breed them, and i hesitate cause im not sure.

Mouth colour is useless if it's a hybrid, grab a copy of 'A Field Guide To Reptiles Of Queensland' by Steve Wilson, it has a quick note on how to differenciate species, the crest, head shape and spines on tail are the most obvious differences.

PL- yer the female is a barbata and she is doing well, she is eating like a pig but still doesnt like being handled to much but she is getting there, hows the male i swaped you? well this is anoying cause i cant realy breed them now. i dont understand why people sell you herps with the wrong name, i get my first snake which was a female "stimsoni" which turned out to be a spotted, after i had got her a partner, so then i had to get another stimsoni. its so anoying. PogonaLady do you still have any red or orange phase hatchies for sale this season?
