Some southern Angle headed pics

[paleoherp]

I've been giving my Angle headeds there weekly overhaul, so I thought I would share some pics.
2 yearling's which are looking like they are female and a 2 year old male which I picked up just before Christmas. And since his introduction it has been quite entertaining as you could imagine.
I love these dragons, they are the only lizards I keep these days and they are always a hit with the kids.
If you have any pics of Angle headeds or boyds, feel free to share, would love to see them.

Your right, they are beautiful little guys for sure.
I started off with Angles and then went to Boyds, I reckon they are the most interesting looking dragon in Australia.
And going by your name, these 2 lizards are the closest looking to Dinosaurs.

Here's a couple of Boyds pics... I'll try and find some angle pics.

Love the Boyds Southside, I would love to get a couple but unfortunately I am in Vic and we're not allowed to keep them last time I checked.
My Dinosaur and reptile fascination went hand in hand as a child.

Love the Boyds Southside,
My Dinosaur and reptile fascination went hand in hand as a child.

I know what you mean!
That's why I love these 2 specie and herps in general because of that similarity.

Other way around I reckon- Males are usually a plain brown and females mottled with much more patterning:

So, female on top, likely male on bottom.

Male:

Here are some pics of our angle heads. Female (top) and Male, and other females. Pics of hatchies who entered the big wide world today. Cute little guys. We have two colonies of AH and absolutely love them.

Nick could you plz let me know what you think mine are??

I know one of my 3 are female as she laid eggs recently lol...

 

[Mooseman]

Itbites, angle on right is definitely a female and left looks to be a male. Generally females have lots of patterning and the males are much plainer.

 

[itbites]

Thanx moose interesting...was supposed to be a male lol

Is there any other way to determine sex?

 

[Bushfire]

I was told by a keeper at Coffs Habour zoo some time ago to look above the eye to see if it has "eye lashes". If you look at the females posted in this thread you will see thin black lines above the eye whereas the males wont have this. I dont know how consistant this is but has been true with all the ones Ive seen around coffs that were gravid.

 

[kupper]

seeing as these guys need no heat do they grow at a slower rate than most other herps?

 

[Mooseman]

Another way to tell is females are generally bigger and they have three lines that run across their heads. Am just in process of getting photos and will post soon.
Photo of our enclosure shown here for Kupper

 

[Mooseman]

Following photos show lines on female head as opposed to plain male head.
Kupper, they probably do grow slightly slower than other dragons particularly during winter periods, when they don't eat much.

 

[Mooseman]

Ooops, female looks a bit shabby as she is shedding.

 

[kupper]

they are definantly a very interesting species of dragon one i wouldnt mind keeping !!
