Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Tiny My son came across this tiny little Mountain Dragon, whilst we were out walking in the Winburndale National Reserve, Sunny Corner, near Bathurst, New South Wales. Thanks to the two Steve’s, I have now found out that this little guy is in fact a Mountain Dragon and not a Gecko! Much Appreciated!! The Mountain Dragon (Rankinia diemensis ) is one of the smallest lizards that bears the name dragon. They grow to around 20cm in length and can be found from the Blue Mountains to Victoria as well as Tasmania. However, they usually blend in so well that they go unnoticed. Mountain Dragons are very similar in appearance to Jacky Lizards. / References advise that a primary difference is the colour of their mouths – Mountain Dragon’s are blue and Jacky Lizards are yellow. Mountain Dragons are oviparous – that is, they lay eggs. The small juveniles – barely 7cm in length – are fond of little black ants.
