Some Diporiphora pics at last

[hornet]

Well some people asked for pics of these a while ago so thought i'd finally add some pics. These are Diporiphora winneckei (cane grass dragons) I have a pair of adult males and 2 juvies so need at least 1 of them to be female. I lost 2 very early on which was a shame and apart from one of the current juvies going off food for a while and nearly losing it they have been pretty easy to keep. Keep them in 55l (i think) storage tubs with a dichroic light for their heat. They all have a piece of spinifex grass to sleep in and mallee wood for a basking spot.

Will try and grab some more pics this arvo

these guys are 1st gen captive bred, parents were collected on permit just south of alice springs but found all over central aust. The bris species is Diporphora australis. I've been busy with work so have had a chance to upload more pics but will try to tonight. One of he juvies just completed a shed and now has a orange/red flush down his flanks.
