i think your talking about Tympanocryptis lineata it has a SVL of 58mm and is endangered in victoria

if you cant find info on it look for the following closely related dragons

T.centralis
T.houstoni
T.pinguicolla
T.tetraporophora (thats a mouthfull)
 
striped legless lizard aka Delma impar SVL 100mm endangered in vic/SA and vunerable nsw/act

Burtons Legless Lizards feed on lizards only. Most (if not all) other species of Legless Lizard feed on insects.

We recently had a Reptile show in ACT diplaying these species among others. Some pics of Grassland Earless Dragon (Tympanocryptis pinguicolla) and Striped Legless Lizard (Delma impar)
