Skinks

[Scutellatus]

I found these guys this morning at my kids school. There were three in close proximity, with the two in the photo in a battle. I am thinking the two in the photo are male and female locked in a mating dance. The one doing the holding was pushing and pulling the other around in area covering about one square metre and eventually slipped in to a gap while still holding the other and disappeared.
