Head shot of an Eastern Water Dragon
This fellow lives on my yard, breeds here swims in the dam,hangs about all day with his girlfriend, I just love these water dragons.
This fearsome looking but very harmless creature is a very fine specimen of Physignathus lesueurii lesueurii (Eastern Water Dragon), a native of Australia and fairly common anywhere near water. It was photographed in the Reptile House of the Billabong Koala Sanctuary at Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on a fine summer day.

The Eastern Water Skink (Eulamprus quoyii) lives along the east coast, with some inland populations also known, such as the Darling River. They are also often found in surbubia like this one was.

This guy was sunning himself on a rock on the other side of Manning Creek (Gibb River Road, Kimberley). We swam across on our way to the falls. He was quite timid and also pretty large. These creatures are quite common in the Kimberley but it was a privelege to see one so large.
The beautiful shiny scales are shown off by this gorgeous snake. Under lights, especially sun light they glimmer through the water…
A saltwater/estuarine crocodile at a local Wildlife Park. We only have two crocodile species in northern Australia: The Saltwater and the Freshwater crocodiles. The freshies, as they’re commonly known, are generally safe to swim near as they tend to steer clear of humans and are not capable of doing any serious harm to humans. The salties, on the other hand, are distinguishable by their wider mouths and larger overall size, are more similar to the Alligator, and are known to attack/consume much larger prey, such as buffalo, cattle, and the occasional human being.
The guy on the right was asleep. /
The Water monitor / , Varanus salvator is a member of the monitor lizard family. They are large lizards growing up to 3 meters (9.8 ft) in length, but most adults are 1.5 meters (4.9 ft) long at most, and are close in size to the Komodo Dragon. Maximum weight of Varanus salvator can be over 75 kg, but most are half that size. Their body is muscular with a long powerful tail. Water monitors are perhaps the most common monitor lizards in Asia, and range from Sri Lanka, India, Indochina, the Malay Peninsula and various islands of Indonesia, living in tropical forested areas / FOTO MADE AT THE NOORDER ZOO IN THE NETHERLANDS09/09/2008 / /
These can be quite large for a city lizard, about 1 and 1/2 feet to 2 feet I’d say this one was. Wary but not afraid, it let me get quite close.
