A couple of lizard ID's

[imalizard]

Hello,
On a recent herping trip I came across 3 lizards that I can't seem to find in the "Complete Guide To Reptiles Of Australia". If you find them can you tell me what page?

Found On the fleurieu peninsula S.A,

Also saw another skink that I cant remember to good but I do recall it having a reddish brown strip running down its back with spots along side. Doesn't matter if you can't id this skink as I can't remember it very good:lol:

Thanks, Daniel

I'm thinking whites skink. Egernia Whitei

 

[Serpentes]

The first is a White's skink, Egernia whitii, the second is a juvenile bearded dragon, I won't guess the species as you find both P. vitticeps and P. barbata there.

im thinking southern angel headed dragon for then second one
looks like a juvi one

 

[r3ptile.boy]

thatss definetly not a southern angle headed, more then likely a beardy

 

[Costa]

ohk then.
actually on closer inspection. i think your right. sorry

 

[Gecko75]

how could you get that dragon mixed up with a angle headed dragon, nothing alike and a angle headed dragon isn't found even within a 1000km of the location? the dragon looks more like some sort of Ctenophorus then a bearded dragon

 

[imalizard]

Thanks, I had a feeling it was a whites skink but thought I would get another opinion. You sure its a bearded dragon? I thought it was some sort of Ctenophorus like Gecko 75 said?

 

[Serpentes]

Only Ctenophorus pictus occurs in that area.

Serpentes, i think you will find that Tawny Dragons, C. decresii also occur on the Fleurieu peninsula as well as Kangaroo Island. The dragon in the pic is a female tawny.

Tawny dragon c. Decressii and whites skink mate

The tawny looks to be female

Thaks Adsell, I'm obviously not very familiar with the herps around there! But it's pretty poor form to forget C. decresii, I have no excuse

becaus i didnt read the location and ive never seen a beardy of that colour with yellow down the sides. i admit i was wrong. but at a second look i think it might be a beardy... oh well im staying out of this one for now
