Hi Everyone,

Came across this fella this morning. Not to sure what it is, i have about three species in mind. It was quite large with an SVL over 100mm and a TL close to 300mm

It was about 20km from Mount Isa.

Looks like C. saxatilis to me too.


Which direction from Mount Isa did you see it? I have seen them out near Lake Nash which is pretty much northwest of the Isa and a little further than 20 km.

To the north of isa. And Lake Nash is west of Mount Isa. Saxatilis was my original choice, just wasnt 100% positive on it.

True but you go north and then west to get to it. Lol

I finally got around to having a go at keying it out from pattern and I agree with the rest on C. saxatalis.
