Just hoping someone on here can ID this little guy for me, he is happily living in my backyard in WA about 60kms south of Perth on the coast. I'm presuming it's a dragon of some description? He is pretty small, only around 20 - 22 cm long,

Hi Guys,

I got my son a western bearded dragon last Christmas. Some time in January or February he escaped. There was a bit of skin in the garden, so I assumed the cat got him.

I'll get to the point - what substrate it safe for baby bearded dragons ? (Pogona minor minor).
I have been told simple white sand pit sand from bunnings. But wont they eat it when they lick up the crickets??
Or shall i just use plain kitchen paper towels?
I have 2 Pogona minor minors (Perth W.A. lizards). They are just over 3 months old so they are still very tiny.
They have the correct lighting and heating (basking temp on 32 as they are still babies). But they just dont seem to want to eat. The one eats a little better than the other. But the...
I have just bought 2 Western Bearded Dragons (Pogona minor minor) and am wanting to know what basking temp i should set the thermostat to.
I can find all the deatils in the world on the central inland dragons, but no info in the little minor minors from the W.A. area.
Any suggestions?

You don't need a dedicated SLR to get decent reptile photos. The quality that comes from modern camera phones is quite respectable. This is a shot I took with my iPhone4 on a recent trip to the Pilbara. I took a heap of images with my Nikon DSLR as well, but this shows the results that can be...
