Description
The Condamine earless dragon is a small to medium sized earless dragon that occurs on the Condamine River
floodplain in south-east Queensland. There is very little known about the diet and reproductive biology of this lizard.
Threats
The main threat to the Condamine Earless Dragon is land clearing for infrastructure and agriculture. This species has been collected at a number of sites along the Warrego Highway between Toowoomba and Dalby where it is likely that the species will be adversely affected by the widening works to this stretch of highway.
