Pretty look I don't know what it is though

There are countless variations of skinks, I think this would be one of them

A carlia perhaps. Where did you take the photo?

 

[Kareeves]

ah yeah the shot was taken just out side of wirrabara in the flinders SA. I thought it might have been a tree skink but all the tree skinks i have seen around this area do not have that red. It was the size of a tree skink or abit bigger.

Liopholis margaretae personata

yep thats him. Lots of pics on google showing the red. I am looking ford to the new H.G. Cogger book as I am getting sick of looking at the rong names.

wilson and swan 3rd edition. Hal Coggers book is still a fair way off
