I didn't take these photo's but I think juvenile Five-lined Skinks look awesome. To bad they’re not Australian

its not overly uncommon to see that, happens when the tail is damaged to a certain point, a new tail is regrown but the old one isnt lost

An old family friend used to live in Gippsland... i remember visiting her as a kid and her front yard was full of little skinks with blue tails. Can anyone shed some light as to what species this would have been?

 

[jamesn48]

Lerista zietzi and Ctenotus calurus are the only aussie species i know that have blue tails, but neither of them are found near Gippsland. Theres also an Emoia found on christmas island with a blue tail.

 

[Jay84]

hmmmm..... perplexing! Ill have to go back there one day and see if i can find some.

 

[Smithers]

Not sure what the first and third are , others are Cunningham Skink...they were taken in Canberra,..Soz for the quality
