I have chosen these three images for ID purposes and also to show what you actually see in the field. Also to show the differences between the sexes.<br />

This particular specimen is a male, identified by its throat pouch and dorsal display. Obviously I have been spotted by the lizard, hence the display, normally the mane and throat displays would be relaxed and flattened.<br />
