No.1 Looks to be C.metae
No.2 C. arcuatus
Side shots would be more helpful as well

Phill no 2 is Arcuatus for sure, no 1 could be Meta or Davidsoni, it just depends on how the stripe finishes on the tail. both of the first ones are in Australia .

I still say Metae. It looks like the line goes to the top of the caudal peduncle, and the whold caudal peduncle and tail is black.

Can you count the scales on the lateral line for us? :lol:
