Very young Water Dragon with long tail ...twice as long as it's body.

Found this little guy (Water Dragon?) this morning, covered in dirt so I assume he is newly hatched. A large Black Rock Skink was dangerously close so I released the little one a safe distance away.

Boy can they run!

(First appearance was back before I had Bluesky) spicy little lizard bro visit my house today (2023). I didn't have any gloves to catch it safely so I used a paper towel just incase.
