I don't know what type he is, but he's a little beauty don't you think?

Very handsome! And he/she has his/her eye firmly on you!

Great photos jjj, nicely composed with good detail.
I like how you've isolated the main subject from the background, good bokeh.

Absolutely super shots Jeanette. Well framed with sharp detail.

Like them a lot. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hi Jeanette. He is an Eastern Water Dragon, Physignathus lesueurii lesueurii.

[acropolite]

That's one very attractive dragon JJJ, my favourite's the close up. :camera:

[jjjnettie]

Thanks for the identification Citivolus. He must be a juvenile because the water dragons down the creek are much larger than him.
Thank you everyone for looking. I'm glad you liked him as well.

She* is a lovely looking dragon m'am! :)



*i say she because i cannot see any red markings onteh chest from this angle. males have bright red colouring covering thier chest.

[jjjnettie]

David,
Is this pic on a better angle to tell?

[Gargoyle_Steve]

Great images Jeanette of a great looking subject. As said above definitely an Eastern Water Dragon, can you give any idea as to how long it was? Definitely a young'un but she (or he ;)) has already developed a beautiful long tail.

[jjjnettie]

Gee, I reckon she'd be about 500mm maybe.

[Tamtarn]

That last pic of the dragon is absolutely super Jeanette. :thumbsup:

Think you have hidden talent in getting these creatures to pose for you.

[jjjnettie]

I played around with the images in PaintShopPro.:thumbsup:

Is that a location thing? Another thing I have noticed is that the dragons don't have striking colouring until breeding season. The yellow and black near the eye will become very pronounced then.
