They are very nice, and from what i've seen quite variable in pattern and colours, throughout age and individuals.
 
i have one. hes a lot of fun to watch as hes quite active, climbs a lot, swims and also digs burrows in the substrate. he seems to have got a lot tamer in the 3 weeks ive had him, and eats from my hand. i feed him waxworms, crickets and mealworms. i also leave some cat food out for him so he can eat if he wants to while im at uni.
it will be awsome once he gets nice and big, and hopefully hes really a he, so will colour up.
 
Does it need some special attention? Like Iguanas..? Or will it get along well in any aquarium/terrarium? With normal temperature?
How big does it grows?
Nice pics.
 
I want one. Like...bad.
My boyfriend almost bought me one. We found a place a little while away that sold them and were totally set to go pick one up but we came across a sick Chinese/Green WD and took him home. He took the Aussie's place. He did a little better in the time we had him, his jaw hardened up a bit but his MBD just got worse and worse despite everything we did and he died recently.
I still really want an Aussie but I want to wait till we don't have to share a house with druggy retards before we get one.
Aussies are so freaking gorgeous. Dragons in general. :grinyes:
 
Nice Pics :D
