I agree Mark, I also thought it was a vittie, and by that photo I am pretty convinced it is a vitticeps. Even from that angle the head looks like a vittie and not a barbata and the pattern IMO is not much like a barbata either. I did say it was a vitticeps, not that it will do me much good, as I forgot to answer half the Q's......LOL

Marc I agree but the pic doesn't show it well enough to tell for me either. Even though it would be called an eastern at the zoo, I have seen many display animals with the wrong classification.

If its based on knowledge then people new to the hobby wouldn't be able to get involved, I think the comp is good because anyone can join in. Some of the early questions like "what state is the stumpy from?" did require a bit of knowledge and or research to answer.

If the questions are going to get harder and harder as the comp goes, especially the 3 pointers at the end, then i would think that people new to the hobby will stand little chance of guessing the right animal.

I'm no gun at bearded dragons but i reckon that even seeing the entire photo still wouldn't have made this guess any more than just a guess. About the only one that i think could be discounted with that photo is the pygmy's.

the question asked for the species and not the sub species.....
so i answered Pogona... thats the species yeah?
and barbatta or vitticeps is the subspecies yeah? or am i just plain wrong?

I made the same mistake TX-III.
The genus is actually Pogona. But if you look in any dictionary Specie as it was listed actually refers to coin money.
Species on the otherhand is"any of the taxonomic groups into which a genus is divided, the members of which are capable of interbreeeding" it mentions a fwe other meanings alon the same lines.
The other problem I found was "no subspecies required". Logically I thought the only pogona sp. with subspecies is Pogona minor, so went with that.
Maybe questions should be more specific?
