Pogona species in the Southern cross comp...

[OzGecko]

Apologies for all the spelling mistakes in my last post. Probably should have read it before posting it. I'm sure you understand what I was getting at.
The current question (common name of a tortoise) will probably be just as bad. Most species have more than one common name. They should list the source of the common name they come up with.

The other problem I found was "no subspecies required". Logically I thought the only pogona sp. with subspecies is Pogona minor, so went with that

That's exactly the logic I used to come up with my answer which was the same as yours.

Hopefully I'll have better luck with the turtle one.

Yep it goes:
kingdom (animalia)
phylum (chordata)
class (reptilia)
order (squamata)
family (agamide)
genus (pogona)
species (yet to be decided :wink
I bet I stuffed it up.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that was questioning the species in the photo of the entire animal. It does look very much like vitticeps. Especially the row of spines along the side of the animal, very much like vitticeps.

And yes, the Genus is Pogona and the Species is vitticeps/ barbata. As has been said before, the only Pogona I can think of with a sub-species is Pogona minor minor.

Cheers Rossco.

gotta love these comps

looks like a vitticeps to me... The guessing bit of the competition keeps it pretty interesting IMO. Al long as not ALL the pics require a whole lotta luck i'm happy it keeps the playing field level between the elites and us noobies

Thats a vittie for sure, barbatas are skinny bags of bones, not to mention to pointy heads.

I have to say the question in it's self wasn't writen very well, why doesn't someone else (who isn't in the comp) check over the questions before slately posts them, that way there will be no confusion.
