An evenly textured litter skink with white bar and brown behind the eyes. The tail is very long and a strong red brown color. This specimen was fat and possibly pregnant.
Found while weeding the garden
This image shares the dark zone behind the eye and confirms my suspicion of 'weasel skink'. http://www.ausemade.com.au/fauna-flora/f...

Thanks Jellis
I had the wrong location.
This one was spotted in Victoria.
Checking the Victorian species would exclude Lygisaurus because it is out of range.
I suspect Saproscincus mustelinus based on the white 'teardrop' dot behind the eye. http://www.ausemade.com.au/fauna-flora/f...
it maybe one of the Lygisaurus subspecies but hard to match the pattern.
