Which Skink Is This?

[TrevorJ]

Hi Guys,

Happy New Year, hope it's a good one for you all.

These skinks are quite plentiful in my rather untamed vegie patch and judging by how big and fat some of them are they must be doing the job as far as pest control goes.

Can someone ID them for me please? North Burnett region. Queensland.

All help much appreciated.

Hey Trevor,

The trusty complete guide to reptiles of Australia has a pic close to this fella as a Ctenotus Eutaenius but the distribution states it higher up the coast around Townsville...
