there is a few things it could be,
i took it for granted it was found on the central coast cos thats where the op lives.
At first i thought weasel skink but the eye seems to big and different.
So many things it could be, how big was it and is there another pic?

Legless lizards dont have legs (apart from some small flaps near the cloaca). Its a common misconception that some skinks with small legs are legless lizards.

He isn't mine... That's why I thought people on here may be able to shed some light.... Thanks for all the info I truly appreciate it

It's a Mainland Sheoak Skink, Cyclodomorphus michaeli, assuming the location the animal naturally occurred was on the Central Coast. What I want to know is if it isn't yours why doesn't the owner know what it is? and if it isn't anybodies why is it in a cage?>!

I never said it wasn't owned.... It was rescued from a neglectful home.... And at the time they were told it was a leg less lizard as I stated above.... Don't shoot the messenger....

Sorry snakewise that's the only pic I have! He is 15cm long has grown considerably since being looked after properly apparently he was quite skinny....

So even if he was a rescue then it should have been declared to DECCW

So I don't know all I do know is I was asked to ask the question and that is what I have done.
Its a medium sized Sheoak They were once found in good numbers over the whole of the Central Coast, but these days with massive urban development and cats, they are alas not seen very often. I saw the biggest Sheoak of my life in my own backyard over 20 years ago. It was over 30cm in total lenght and almost comparable body size to a medium Pink tongue
