I’ll try this for a second time, considering the first time I tried, my post failed as I clicked Submit  All wild shots are taken in-situ. Saproscincus challengeri  These little guys are very common at Lamington NP, but also quite cryptic. They are usually only found when movement gives away their location. Egernia major Land Mullet  Land Mullets are the biggest skink species in the world. They are also common at Lamington, hiding amongst fallen timber and disappearing from view if you get too close. Eulamprus murrayi/tryoni  I only saw one of these at Lamington, but we weren’t there long. I am unsure which of the two species it is. If anyone is able to shed some light, I’m all ears  Lampropholis delicata  Not the smartest skink in the garden, this little guy decided to investigate a gumnut and picked up a crash helmet in the process. It was stuck tight, but with some gentle assistance he lived to do something stupid another day.

I don't mean to be petty, but aren't the Solomon's islands prehensile tailed skink the biggest skink species?
