Seen these sunbaking on sat

[lcabban]

Seen these two fellas relaxing in the sun the other day both really placid both let me get inches away from them to take photos, The coastal was quite large about the thickness of my wrist he only had one eye possibly from a bird?. Is the lizard an eastern bearded? I have never seen one before so was unsure.

the lizard is a EWD eastern water dragon 100% very dark colour ,

 

[Jonno from ERD]

The dragon is an Eastern Bearded Dragon, Pogona barbata.

 

[diamonds]

yeh definatly not a EWD

 

[lcabban]

It definantly wasnt a water dragon we are surrounded by them on the gold coast and ive kept them before so i can Id them .Thanks for your input though I thought that it may have been an eastern beardie I havent seen any before do you know if they are common in south east queensland? And zulu its funny but on the gold coast the carpets seem to be in better shape in the wild than in some collections ive seen sad but true.

Yep...an Eastern Beardie...here's a pic of one which was dangerously close to the road up neat Tamworth about 2 weeks ago...we picked her up and after a few quick pics set her down about 20 feet off the road...she was very tame for a wild one.
