Delma Tincta
Delma's are a genus of legless lizards found in Australia. I found this little guy under a log in Roma. The Excitable Delma is so named because it thrashes and jumps around when disturbed. I don't think it was too excited to see me... Although they have no legs, they do have tiny scaly flaps as modified back legs.
Wide variety of habitats, usually under logs or other debris.

Gorgeous creature. I can't believe the stuff you find.
Cool spotting!
Ha! Great name.. I agree this one isn't living up to it.
