Bearded Dragon aka Pogona vitticeps
Mature bearded dragons can reach a total length of around 60 cm (24 in), or two feet, with the tail accounting for more than half of that. Some sexual dimorphism is present, as males can be distinguished from females by a wider cloacal opening, a wider tail-base, a larger and more angular head, a more developed beard (guttural throat-pouch), and the obvious possession of hemipenes. Somewhat like chameleons, bearded dragons are capable of inducing moderate changes in coloration based on mood. Additionally, they can slightly raise the pointed scales that run along either side of their throat, neck, head and torso by inhaling air into their lungs to maximum capacity, thus appearing larger to predators. -Wiki #MagazooReptiles

Eastern Collared Lizard aka Crotaphytus collaris
The eastern collared lizard is a North American species of lizard in the family Crotaphytidae. The common name "collared lizard" comes from the lizard's distinct coloration, which includes bands of black around the neck and shoulders that look like a collar. They can grow up to 8–15 in (20–38 cm) in total length (including the tail), with a large head and powerful jaws. Males have a blue-green body with a light brown head. Females have a light brown head and body. They are known for their bipedal locomotion–the ability to run on their two hind legs–and can sprint at incredible speeds of up to 24 kilometers per hour; this behavior is usually observed when trying to escape predators. -Wiki #MagazooReptiles

Blue-tounged Skink aka Tiliqua scincoides chimaerea
Yum! 🤤 Did you know skinks love to snack on a variety of things! They enjoy feasting on insects, spiders, and even small fruits or flowers. They’ve got quite the diverse diet to keep them happy! Some species of this genus are kept as household pets. They are on average very friendly when raised in captivity, and are often called 'the dogs of reptiles'. Captive specimens can live 20 years or longer. -Wiki #MagazooReptiles

Roughneck Monitor aka Varanus rudicolli
The black rough-necked monitor is a species of monitor lizard found in Southeast Asian countries of Thailand, Burma, and Malaysia. It is a medium to large monitor. It usually reaches an average adult size of 3–4 ft. (90–120 cm), with a maximum length of 5 feet (150 cm), reported. It can be easily recognized by large pointed scales adorning the necks of adults. They are a gracile, long-bodied lizard with a prominently pointed snout. Black roughnecks are known for their very calm temperament, rarely biting or tail whipping in captivity. When threatened they prefer to escape, urinate or defecate, puff up their throats or “go necrotic” by closing their eyes as if playing dead. -Wiki #MagazooReptiles

Blue-tongued Skink aka Tiliqua scincoides chimaerea
😋🦎 Did you know skinks have a special muscle near the base of their tail that allows it to break to confuse predators. The tail will continue to wriggle and distract the predator while the skink escapes! Over time, the skink can regrow a new tail, but it's usually not as impressive as the original. Always be careful when handling your reptile! 💚

Monitor Lizard
Monitor lizards are lizards in the genus Varanus, the only extant genus in the family Varanidae. They are native to Africa, Asia, and Oceania, and one species is also found in the Americas as an invasive species. Like snakes, they have highly forked tongues that act as part of the "smell" sense, where the tips of the tongue carry molecules from the environment to sensory organs in the skull. The forked apparatus allows for these lizards to sense boundaries in the molecules they collect, almost smelling in "stereo". They are oviparous, laying from seven to 38 eggs, which they often cover with soil or protect in a hollow tree stump. Some species, including the Komodo dragon, are capable of parthenogenesis. -Wiki #MagazooReptiles

Two-coloured Skink aka Trachylepis dichroma
The two-coloured skink is a species of skink found in Kenya and Tanzania. Named after the Greek prefix "di-", denoting two, and the Greek root word "chroma", meaning color. The name dichroma refers to the fact that adult males and females of the new species exhibit two different color patterns, at least during the mating season. During this period (and sometimes over many months) the males exhibit an intensive orange colored venter and a blue throat, while the females exhibit a beige venter and a grey throat. #MagazooReptiles

Bearded Dragon aka Pogona vitticeps
Mature bearded dragons can reach a total length of around 60 cm (24 in), or two feet, with the tail accounting for more than half of that. P. vitticeps are opportunistic omnivores. They live in areas where food may be hard to find, thus they are not particularly finicky eaters. Their stomachs are large enough to accommodate significant quantities of vegetation, fruits, insects, worms, and the occasional small rodent or lizard. Favored insect prey includes crickets, grasshoppers, beetles, caterpillars, moths, butterflies, or any insect that can comfortably be swallowed. They will also eat mealworms, kingworms, parsley and kale and vegetables like pepper and sweet potato. -Wiki #MagazooReptiles

Bearded Dragon aka Pogona vitticeps
Bearded dragons are not social animals, but will sometimes gather in groups, especially in popular feeding or basking areas. At these times, a distinct hierarchy will emerge: the highest-ranking animals will take the best – usually the highest or sunniest – basking spots, and all other individuals arrange themselves lower down. They are opportunistic omnivores. They live in areas where food may be hard to find, thus they are not particularly finicky eaters.
