That is a male approaching breeding colouration (or leaving it) the females are impossible to tell without dna sampling. There is no consistant scale differences but the there is differences in male breeding colouration......I saw your victorian skink post on another forum and some of those id's are definately incorrect but due to politics I am unable to comment.
Cheers,

Looks like my survey site is still going well up there.......no Burramys I take it...as when I was speaking to John he said nothing but heard all about the praealtus.
Did you see any of the very common Eulaprus koscioskoi there (well very common in the right spot)
Cheers,
Scott | Unfortunately no Burramys, would have been nice but we got nearly everything else we could have expected.
Not sure what John said the Eulamprus up there were but they all looked like tympanum to me, I'll post a pic soon but I didn't get any good ones of the water skinks. Quote:

Only saw one Alpine water skink at kosi and the rest were southerns as well. | | |
