Re: Water Dragons

Pretty close to the bearded dragon
But for Andrew in Canada I couldn't find anything closer but the horned lizards to where he lives if he even has them in his part of Canada.
Yeah they get pretty large. I regulary encounter them to 80-90cm or so when fishing but most of that length is tail. I had one jump of a tree once and it tried to steal my surface lure from my rod in its holder in kayak. Was a sudden surprise and I was like "what the hell".

The first two and last two in the photo's are of a 70cm specimen. The middle one was about 44cm

While not too similar I think they would be closest to pygmy or short-horned lizards but I have no idea where in Canada these species live

Nothing like that here. An interesting set.

They look more like our little Thorny Devil.

The Eastern Water Dragons get pretty big (As in metre long sort of big).
