When you do a Post or an answer , below the area where you type you see all the buttons, use the one called INSERT IMAGE , go to the photo which must be on the internet and do a properties on it, copy the URL in that properties and paste it into the Panel for INSERT IMAGE, make sure not to double the http// The URL will look like this
http://www.pps.net.au/4wdencounter/images/detroit_lsd.jpg

but if you put that URL into the INSERT IMAGE panel it look like this below, if you want to see if it's going to work press the Preview button

Gotta be a bit careful there doug - next you'll be asking to see his snake ;)

That is what it might be.

Yes - is is a male Painted Dragon - Ctenophorus pictus (Some older books place it in the genus Amphibolurus).

Cheers

Very cool looking lizard. What about one seen along plenty highway, fairly plain looking but with some serious spikes around its neck.

Geez Greg I almost agree with you....LOL

My aged book says Amphibolurus pictus





Big Mike...probably a Bearded Dragon

Cheers

I have to agree with WK on that one - a Bearded Dragon, and to be more specific probably a Central Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps)

Twice in one day ---- too much:)

Robert,

I know what you mean. I thought it was BS first time I heard this ta ta lizard thing. I've been waved "ta ta" to by dozens of the little blokes now!! I've seen them from QLD to WA though never with the colours that the one in these pics have. Obviously a relative of some kind.

Hows it going Robert,

Saw the Lizards before I heard about them .

Must admit my wife had a funny look on her face when I told her I just saw a lizard wave at me , too many beers in this heat eh.

Glenn.

Thank god for that! Seen heaps up north in summer, but not quite same colouring as the photo here (definately looks the same in all other respects though). Definately funny looking critters and judging by the bodies, the poor little buggers are a bit slow getting off the road as well.

Gents,

When I worked in Kimberly many years ago, also called them "Shaky Paw" lizards. They were fairly common, and pretty quiet.

Hooroo...

ups........should have read the follow ups first :-)
