Found this fellow and 2 of its mates amongst mums retaining wall today along with plenty of gravid legless lizards(orange bellied ones) and some skinks. He posed well for the set up photo before being released back into the scrub much to mums dissmay and protest.
Sorry for the quality of the piccy but i wasnt getting the camera any closer as it doesnt look like our usual swampies.
Closest i have found through google is the dwarf or golden crowned snake. It has a pink belly and the gold extends from tip of the snout to just behind the head but doesnt join. All were less than 30cms.
I assume they eat beatles and other insects as there was heaps amongst the decaying plant matter. All the skinks were found next to or very close to black ants nests.
Thanks
