Unknown Lizard

[Jonathon]

Hi, Today in my pool I found a small dead skink floating in the water. I guess it was looking for a drink, fell in and then couldn't get out. I took it out of the water and I was surprised to find that it wasn't a fence skink. Fence skinks are the only skinks I?ve found in my yard before so this one was quiet unusual. I've had a look in a few reptile identification books and I can?t find one that looks the same. Can any of you identify this skink? Sorry for the very bad pics.

BTW i live in Perth so that?s where it was found.

i reckon its a legless lizard

Most likely a skink from the Lerista genus. Couldnt say which one exactly, there's quite a few.

:lol: He has got little legs, so he is not legless.

Or Blind maybe? Not dumb! Actually I had to look very closely too. Darn my failing eyes. First up I thought "Legless Lizard" too.
