Little dragon ID

[imalizard]

Hey guys,
was wondering if i could grab a quick ID on this little lizard I found today. He was in the dry creek bed we built and was flushed out under a rock when we let the water run. I've seen 3 of these guys so there must be plenty of good for them.

Less then 4cm long and I'm located in Murray bridge, south Australia.

cheers!

Looks like a type of earless dragon.
Tympanocryptis species

From the photos I'd say Tympanocryptis lineata. Not sure how long they'll stay as T. lineata though.

It's Tympanocryptis lineata.

Cheers guys! I checked my idea book and thought it was an earless dragon but just wanted to double check

Yep, a Lined Earless Dragon (for the moment , as Rocket hinted at). That one is about two thirds maximum size - they are really are a very small dragon.

I was under the (quite possibly wrong) impression the type locality for lineata was part of the SA population, and more importantly from the surrounds of Adelaide itself. In which case it is very likely going to be lineata for a long time.
