Lizard ID pls

[snakeluvver]

I found this little beauty on our patio! My first thought was a baby monitor, but now I'm thinking some sort of skink? Sorry, I'm not exactly brilliant at identifying lizards If its any help I live in South East QLD

Cool, are they rare at all? Because I have never seen one.

 

[ingie]

I saw one out front of my boyfriend's place on the road the other day! They are really beautiful - I don't think they are rare though.... I put him in the garden

They are pretty common in the wetter suburbs,They are handy to have around the garden as they are snail eaters.

 

[Jonno from ERD]

Yes, it is a Pink Tongue Skink - they are kind of like a tree climbing Blue Tongue. They aren't rare at all in the right areas.

Well our back garden backs onto a gum tree forest, so we get lots of herps! Our next door neighbors have often see Lace Monitors (and they once saw a Coastal Carpet Python), and we've seen a few Green Tree Frogs, and my mum has seen two Yellow Faced Whipsnakes (one of which bit her). The first one was definately a whipsnakes but the second may have been a keelback. My school's nearby and we had 5 visits from Green Tree Snakes this term! As I speak a few lizards are rustling around the bushes, but I cant get close enough to get a picture of them.

Oh trust me we get the vens as well! At the beach nearby my friends often see Red Bellied Black Snakes, I have to get them to take me along and see them some time! The groundskeeper at my school said he saw a death adder as well.

And the most EXCITING thing we get is about 1 million cane toads . (For anyone who didnt realise, i was being sarcastic) One night we saw 11 of them in one little part of the garden.
