Thanks in advance and best regards,

I have 2 Jacky Dragons "Amphibolurus muricatus" that hatched in December, all has been great, but the one that was bigger & quicker and more of a bully to start with (Buzz), has slowly deteriorated and become slow and limp and doesn't seem to be walking right and the other has grown much bigger...
I found this dragon while doing the Big Marley Track in the Royal National Park. He was located in a heath kind of habitat. When he was located, he held very still. I managed to chuck my jacket on top of him and then catch him. He was very bitey and active. We managed to get this one photo as...

Curious to see how everyone ended up with scalies in their house and at what age. :) For me it is how ancient and different they are, and how successful they have been over millions of years.
I've done a little bit of herping this year, in a few different locations.
Jellybean pool, Blue mountains
Vermicella annulata
Phyllurus platurus
Diplodactylus vittatus
Litoria phyllochroa
Toadlet, not 100% sure which one.
Scenery
Tunnel Gully Reserve, Blue Mountains
