Nice find Liam. These are beautiful dragons.
Congratulations on finding the first reptile (as far as I can tell) on the Far West Nature Map.
This Painted Dragon looks to be a male, as indicated by the blue lower flanks and a glimpse of yellow-orange chest. Males also have a dark patch on the chest, which I can't see in the photo but it's probably just the angle that makes it not visible.

My pleasure Liam. Thanks for looking. I'm pretty sure it's a male anyway and confident that it's a Painted Dragon.
