Hi James and Joel. Your ID's are good. It's definitely Intellagama lesueurii and looks most like and is most likely to be Intellagama lesueurii howittii. Despite the pics not being the clearest, most detailed shots, there's nothing to suggest it could be anything else. Also, all nearby records in all directions are identified as this subspecies, or left at species level, which is an option here. I reckon it looks to be an adult male.
What exactly is being used in these baits to attract lizards to what I assume is a wildlife camera?

Hi @PatrickCampbell2 we recommended using a mix of peanut butter, oats and honey as a standard bait but also encouraged the use of meat like tuna if folks were interested in targeting other species.

Unfortunately it's hard to know exactly what was used but it's like the peanut butter oats honey combo

Thank you for your thoughts on this ID! 😊😊
