Spiny-tailed Monitor
A pygmy member of the monitor, or goanna, family of lizards which has some very large members, such as the Perentie, which can grow to 2.5 metres. This is a young resident of Billabong Sanctuary and will probably grow to less than 70 cm.
It is a desert-dweller from the north of W.A., N.T. and Queensland.
The ridged tail looks like it was made from bottle-caps!
