Yes, a great photo of a male and female mating - first time (photo) I have seen of mating in this species - well done!! The female will be laying eggs nearby and hopefully later in summer you will see little Jacky Dragons scuttling about.

The photo was taken in 2012 and yes, we saw lots of little Jacky Dragons. We have lots of little ones every year which is fabulous. Do they lay their eggs in the ground, under rocks or in a burrow?
