Well, I may be wrong, but I believe it is the Rankin's Dragon (also called the Lawson's dragon). Getting the scientific name may be a bit of a challenge. It was supposed to be Pagona henrylawsonii and sometimes is still called by that named. While the Australians were fighting over the proper name, it was introduced in the US as P. rankini and I've seen it called P. brevis.

So I guess you'll have to pick one!
