Yeah, the ones with the orange colours are usually inland BD - the soil and sands can be quite orange/red in our dry inland areas so I guess it helps with camouflage. Beardies can take off at a moments notice mainly if they find a mate or if they are scared off by predators. My pet BD are very lazy and prefer to 'bask' on a warm laptop!
Could this be the Central BD species? I've only ever seen the eastern variety. Hard to tell from a single photo. They must be awesome pets. There was a little wild fellow I grew very fond of and then one day he just disappeared. I really fretted for quite some time http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/220...

Inland Beardies are more yellow/orange but the coastal ones are more grey. Both become very dark in the sunlight.
Very unusual colours for a beardie. A beautiful fellow.
I live in Australia and have two as pets!
I loved Australia and that's really lucky to get so close to a wild one.
