Discussion
- For animals cought in the wild (data: M. Bamford) the age was assumed
- Most of the wild data is for females; there is a difference in size between males and females. Data for (wild) males might be added at a later stage.
- Captive reared individuals were reared from eggs laid by wild females in captivity, and incubatedat two temperatures (as indicated). All juveniles were reared at same conditions.
- Food abundance for uni-variate data and zero-variate wild data was allowed to differ.
- This entry contains some unpublished data; If you plan to use it, please contact Hamish (hamish.burnett89@gmail.com)
Facts
- The Western heath dragon is one of the most common lizards in coastal Southwestern Australia. It lives in coastal heath, kwongan, and Banksia woodland habitats with sandy substrates. (Ref: Wiki)
- They are often one of the first vertebrates that appear after habitat restoration of (sand) mining sites in WA. (Ref: Bamf2018)
