Its a type of Slider, maybe Lerista muelleri

 

[BrownHash]

It looks like a Hemiergis quadrilineata to me.

It looks alot like a Hemiergis quadrilinata or as most people call them Yellow-bellied Garden Skink.

 

[GeckoJosh]

Yeah you guys are right, looks like I need some new field guides, my books didnt even have that species

 

[eipper]

its a Hermiergis sp...you need to count the toes to split the species around Perth

Hi Sugizo,

Steve Swansons book lacks a lot of information on the less commonly seen species of reptiles. There are a couple of far more informative books available, including Steve Wilsons "A Complete Guide to Reptiles of Australia" . If you wanted something specifically about the skinks of Western Australia, there's also the Western Australian Museums book, Lizards of Western Australia - Skinks.

Just click on the links to be able to view more information about them.

Cheers
