    Wonderful shots! What a neat little critter. At first glance there's similarities with our desert lizards, only they wouldn't be anywhere near water. And your water dragon looks larger.

    I really like the 3rd one. Seems like he's posing for you.

    So cool, Bernice. I don't see webs on his fingers so I guess he doesn't swim??

    Thank you jj. I was lucky. He stayed around longer than most do.

    He was only half grown mtngal and I was able to get up quite close.

    I thought he was saying"Haven't you got anything better to do?" MudPuppy, but I like your explanation better.

    Apparently they don't need webs saly. They swim most efficiently and extremely quickly.

    Thank you everyone for your comments. I thought he was rather cute myself.
