McCoys skink

Another one http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/355...

Great shot~!!!

Cool!

Nice links martinl.

This looks very much like the yellow-bellied three toed skink with its distinctive shape and bright belly but clearly has five toes. I doubt its toe count is as variable as its egg laying habits, so it remains unidentified.

Evolution has been caught in the act, according to scientists who are decoding how a species of Australian lizard is abandoning egg-laying in favor of live birth.

Lizard or snake? Haha soo cute

I don't know if you get them where you are but one skink species in our back yard grass is very short legged and has a very long and solid tail compared to body size. Although it's common here I've never been able to find an ID for it. I'll put up some pics maybe you will recognise it.

Argy, I think the Boulanger's skink is an arid species and more strongly striped, it is unlikely to be a match. This guy (?) could slide through the grass very efficiently like the legless sand sliders. I could easily see the advantage of tiny legs.

Excellent spotting martin. The yellow underneath is strongest towards the front in the Boulanger's link but further back in yours. The look in that skinky eye is much the same though :)

great spotting!
