Cryptoblepharus virgatus - Common Tree Skink or Eulamprus quoyii - Eastern Water Skink are my guesses for this one
on field guides a new one is released next month Australia wide
steve1 Cement did it musk you said:You know of all the blind snakes i've held, i am yet to be musked. Everyone says how they scent but I am yet to experience it. I have been "spiked", but I find that with gentle handling they calm down very quickly and maybe this is why I haven't been scented yet. Unless the ones i come across here R. nigrescensdon't scent? Though my field guide says all species do.
Steve,
These along with 25 other Australian and 43(I think from memory) others from OS were described by Paul Horner fairly recently...I think the paper (230 odd pages of it) came out in 2007.
The new guide has over 50 new species in it with new Geckos, Skinks, Pygo's Elapids and more in comparison to the 2nd edition.....I like the photo of the cavaticus in this new one...lol
Cheers,
Scott
Acanthophis antarcticus - Common Death Adder maybe?
