Finally a water dragon

You know it's spring when the reptiles begin emerging. I've been worried about the water dragons because of the long drought.
The spring-fed pond below this tree is either dry all very close to it, so it's going to be having a big impact on a lot of things as we heat up quickly towards summer.
Thank you for the awesome questions and comments on my photos.
A lovely capture - such a wonderful creature with its super long tail and in camouflage .with the tree's colour and texture ! Lets hope there will be rain and sufficient water for this little creature to survive and live healthily ! fav

And all the snakes looking for water will be an issue this year I think.

@sugarmuser I'm feeling so apprehensive this year that I'm going to see some really tragic results of the way things are ramping up ...

Do you have enough water to put out an artificial source for them? We have a few "frog ponds' that we put in over the years and it's amazing how many reptiles and birds use them as a water source.:)

@robz not down the back of the property, but I do have some water out. it is something I am going to have to look into. I am about to set up a lovely one, but it is near the house too and hooked up to an old water tank.

That's the hardest part - keeping the water up to the pond when it's a long way from the house. Can you take a biggish container on the quad bike?

I think I need to google some ideas :) @robz
I have town water so I 'can' do anything like this, the evaporation rate just now is huge and we haven't even hit hot weather!

I'll be interested to see what you find. :)

What a beauty. I do hope that he finds a good source of water. I reckon it is going to be particularly difficult this year too.
