This Lizard was giving me 'the eye' ...
Not sure what classification he/she is but definitively has some interesting coloring.

Painted Turtle
F2.8 - 1/500 - ISO 800
From our visit to Taronga Zoo's Reptile World
The Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta) lives in slow-moving fresh waters. The turtle's top shell is smooth and oval without a keel (ridge) on the top. Its skin is olive to black with red, orange, or yellow stripes on its extremities. The subspecies can be distinguished by their shells: the eastern has straight-aligned top shell segments; the midland has a large gray mark on the bottom shell; the southern has a red line on the top shell; the western has a red pattern on the bottom shell.

Iguana
F2.8 - 1/50 - ISO 200
From our visit to Taronga Zoo's Reptile World
Rather dark in the Reptile enclosure. Good to have a f2.8 lens :-)
This Iguana was sitting up on a log near the light just watching all the silly humans wander past.

Turtle Swimming
F2.8 - 1/1125 - ISO 200
From our visit to Taronga Zoo's Reptile World
Waited for this guy to swim past near the front of the tank. I'm happy with the result.
Added a blue filter in Photoshop to remove the otherwise overwhelming green.
