Yup. He's the Dad of the group that were sunning themselves - they are only a few months old.

It was a trick the vet taught me when he had to try to give a calcium injection to my Iguana. Quite amusing seeing a five foot long reptile go from hissing at him to being all dozy and placid.

Didn't know that, shall store that away now in that part of the brain for random bits of useful info

You're a lucky one to have a monitor, they're bootiful!

Is it me or is that begging to be a euphemism?

Cool pet K! Always wanted lizards when I was a kid, might investigate now I'm big enough to tell my mum I want them!

The ones above are baby Bearded Dragons. The one below is Dad.

thanks K.
are there any lizards like those ones that look like that when they are adult, say about 6" long that like to be in groups?

I was looking online but found it very hard to find much info on species and the conditions they need.
