I was told it's an Australian bearded lizard. Quite docile but, then again, the kid who owns it was running around with it this evening with it being 48 degF. I guess most reptiles get "docile" when they're too cold to move!
Eastern water dragon. They are all around my place in their thousands & i have seen them 3 feet long..
They approach the picnic tables & people feed them...quite harmless unless the are being chased & see your leg as a tree.
I bet he was real impressed with being out in 48 F Thats 9 C for any ozzies looking. Please tell the kid that those temps will kill him sooner or later. These guys dont even move until its up around the high 70's. We dont see 48 F here where they live. Thats not a nice thing to do to a reptile in my opnion.
You're telling me! I was practically :soapbox -ing his DAD about what the chill could do that rather pricy lizard. His response was torpid at best :snore
