User's notes

We have many of these little dragons and they're constantly entertaining us with interesting activity. Their territorial and other communications are carried out by a range of gestures including arm waving, head bobbing, tail flicking, tail wagging and pushups. We've also seen them eat flowers (brachyscome) and occasionally drink water From our bird baths. They bask in the rosemary bushes often, maybe because these attract lots of insects. We've also noticed a number of tiny dragons that are perhaps newly hatched? They're about 50 mm long.
