Re: ID for dragons in southern Eyre Peninsula, South Austral
'A Complete Guide to Reptiles of Australia' by Wilson and Swan is a great resource. It looks like you have a choice between C. pictus and fionni - which were already your two rule-ins. The first three sure look like pictus, though.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! I took another look at my photo set of 'lizard 1' and it appears that there are no visible blue throat patches on the little bugger which, according to Stebbins, would be a tick in the Graciosus column.
