Delma torquata
The collared delma or adorned delma (Delma torquata) is the smallest species of lizard in the Pygopodidae family endemic to Australia. Pygopopdids are legless lizards, so are commonly mistaken for snakes. They are distributed mainly across south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales, in both forests and some suburban areas. They are active during the day, seen foraging and hunting for small insects.

Distribución y hábitat
The collared delma is mostly located in the areas of south-east Queensland but they have been recorded within northern New South Wales. Due to its vulnerability, the collared delma's distribution across Queensland is highly fragmented and only found in specific areas of south-east Queensland; these fragmented habitats are extremely restricted. This fragmentation can be divided into two areas based on phylogeographical changes, costal and inland. These areas include the Bunya Mountains, Blackdown Tablelands National Park, Expedition National Park, Western Creek, near Millmerran, and Toowoomba Range. Large concentrations of the collared delma have been reported in Western Brisbane suburbs, which include Kenmore, Pinjarra Hills, Anstead, Mt Crosby, Lake Manchester, and Karana Downs.

Lo que hace
The collared delma, like all pygopodid lizards, have a breeding season in the Australian summer, producing two eggs during December, which hatch late February to early March.

Toxicidad
Under both the Environment Projection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992; the collared delma is listed as vulnerable. It is also listed under the vulnerable status in both the action plan for Australian reptiles and the Queensland Nature Conservation Regulation 1994. No direct documented study or investigation has quantified its population decline. However, based on the scarcity of its sightings and the nature of its fragmented distribution, the collared delma population vulnerable to both environmental and human pressures. This include land clearing and urbanisation of its habitat, particularly in south-east Queensland. Other threats to the collared delma population include clearing of land for agriculture, habitat degradation, removal of rocks and ground litter, agricultural chemicals, predation by feral cats and foxes, and weed invasion.
