thought id upload these coz i found them while searching my computer.

They were from Noosa a couple of years ago (sorry if they are a bit blurry)

i was thinking Eulamprus martini but am now leaning more towards Eulamprus Tenuis.
could someone confirm that?

I'm leaning towards tenuis. Have you got any closer head shots showing the temporal scales?
 
I'll PM you the link to a picture of Tenuis I found. It looks nearly identical to yours.
 
Even with headshot of temporal scales would probably still be hard to determine the direction of the overlap unless taken from the right angle. I would lean only towards tenuis because I am led to believe they are slightly more prolific than martini.
 
No harm in asking, we may get a lucky shot. I was more highlighting a distinguishing ID feature than anything else.

Sorry, I didn't mean to say asking was wrong at all. Just highlighting the difficulty in distinguishing these from photos.
 
All good GP, no need to apoligise. I believe we're thinking along the same lines in any case.
 
I'm leaning towards tenuis, mainly because Ive seen quite a few of them in Noosa, havent seen a martini.
 
thanks guys,
all the other pics i got are terribly blurry - i took these 3 years ago when i didnt really care about lizards, so this is the best i have!
