[Wildlife] Photos - Lizards

[moonvoice]

More lizards,
I really enjoyed these guys.

Like, it was humid and artificially WAY warmer than outside
and we were sweating in our warm clothing and it was gross,
and I still wanted to spend all the time here lol.


Merten's Water Monitor.




Northern Blue-Tongue Skink







On a mission to the heat lamp.







Also Northern Blue-Tongue Skink.





Ridge-Tailed Monitor



Long-Nosed Dragon



Merten's Water Monitor and Northern Blue-Tongue Skink under the heat lamp, I loved this photo, because you can see their different morphology, and also because like, they're close and it's just nice lol.





I didn't properly log what these guys were so just accept 'lizard' as my description please.

The shared dozing under the heatlamp photo is charming! All of them are lovely. Re: your unidentified lizards, I think the one with the green spots is a Spotted Tree Monitor (I've seen one in a collection before, and the spot-within-a-spot is memorable), while the other is some species of Dragon. Further than that I can't say because there are many and I am no expert in Australian reptiles.

Yeah they definitely had a few different species of Dragon and Monitor there, but a lot of the exhibits didn't match up with the signs (I suspect they were shifting some around and just hadn't gotten around to changing the signs yet!)

AAAAAA! They are all lovely! I love lizards and I've so rarely seen them in the wild.

Eeeee, thank you so much, I love taking photos of them, they're so intricate and beautiful (and in the wild are normally FAST and not letting themselves be admired, lol).
