Cool skink, there's a population of these in the city, 20m from harbour shoreline. I see the scientific name has changed, is it still referred to as the Barred-sided Skink??

That's what I remember them as being. I haven't kept up to date with the skinks.

I have a wild colony of these living in my garage. They see it as some sort of cave, I guess. Coincidentally, just yesterday I found one in a ziplock bag in a drawer in my garage. It seems that it found a tiny tear in the bag and snuck in but couldn't find its way back out. Luckily I happened to be getting something out of that bag yesterday or it would have been a dried husk by the time I found it. It was alive and well and scurried off when I let it out of the bag.
