What skink is this?

[lizardjasper]

I need help! I've looked everywhere but can't find the name of this skink! If anyone out there in APS land can identify it, that would be great!!! Thanks guys!

Not sure but I think I can see two keels on the dorsal scales which would probably be Carlia vivax. If not it may be Carlia pectoralis, both occur in central coastal Queensland.
Any other photos?

I'll second that, either vivax or pectoralis. Do you have a closer shot of it's eye?

This is the only pic my friend managed to get, sorry! The photo was taken in the Brisbane area. I'd love to know what it is, as I've never seen a skink like it before.

Can't ID it further than that without a close up eye shot.

Have no clue what it is but that is a fantastic picture! The lizard looks thoroughly unimpressed hahaha
