Aaron, I've spoken to Lisa & she concurs - thanks for the correction!
If I might chime in, it appears as though your skink has 5 upper labial scales and no enlarged post labial scales. That would make it a broad-headed skink.
Not me Cindy! My friend Mary was the lucky recipient of the love bite!
Pretty spotting. It gave you a little love bite :)
