Idalia NP ID help and other pics

I was recently out at Idalia and saw some herps I wasnt sure on the ID of the following critters.

I was thinking narrow banded sand swimmer, G.variegata and bynoes?

Hi Chris,

The Cryptoblepharus will not be carnabyi.....crypto's have been split from 7 to 23 species in the past 2 months

Cheers,
Scott

Chris,

you need to count the scales under the toes and the supercillaries to key them out.

I was given a copy of the key..the paper is not availible yet so far as i know.

Cheers,
Scott
