Male in breeding flush.

Yes - an excellent photo that shows the combination of colours displayed by male Nobbi Dragons in the ACT region. Females lack this breeding season colour and resemble Jacky Dragons. Differences in mouth colour are diagnostic (pinkish in Nobbi Dragons; yellow in Jacky) - but that feature can be hard to see unless the lizard pokes tongue out or opens mouth. WillO.

That's what I call a red flush to the tail! Best breeding colours I have ever seen, well done
