    Identify this lizard!

    Hey all, I was camping over the long weekend, and was out 4WDriving, when I spotted this fella on the tree, I slammed the breaks on and jumped out to get a shot, I'm 50/50 on him being a gonna, just not too sure? (lol). So what does everyone think?

    Lace monitor.
    The first thing you notice about a Lace Monitor is how reptilian they look. Immensely powerful, they possess all the skills of a crack SAS outfit - camouflage, strength, speed and rat cunning. -Steve Waters.

    At Rover park, it's between Drake and Tenterfield NSW.
    That wasn't the only one I saw, there was one REALLY close to my campsite, going up a tree lol, made my day - that's for sure.

    I used to live near Drake its not just the campsites, the whole place is thick with lacies. They used to drive my dog insane pinching food and bones that he'd stashed. Lots of other herps up there and gorgeous country to boot, well worth a look.
