These were by far the most commonly seen agamids (dragons) around Shark Bay. On my first hike in this area, I saw about ten of these guys, along with just one other lizard (a Lozenge-marked Dragon). This one was soaking up the late afternoon sun while keeping a wary eye on me.

Here is a complete list of the reptiles and frogs I saw on this trip to Western Australia.

Here are a few more photos from the next day. I suppose if you lived out here you could grow tired of seeing these lizards, but I'd have to see many hundred more before that was a possibility.
