Eastern Water Dragon, Physignathus lesueurii
Over the last few days I’ve been at a music camp in Mt Evelyn called Oasis and the owner of the camp has a little reptile house he keeps as a hobby/ attraction for the camp. He is obviously very passionate about his little beauties and this afternoon he very obligingly allowed me to take some pics of his critters. John was a great, helping to pose the animals and going out of his way to help me get good shots an amazing experience I was priviledged to experience.
