Niveoscincus orocryptus
This long-limbed species usually has a strong black vertebral stripe on a brown background, and a white midlateral stripe along either side of the body. Dark dorsal flecking on the back tends to align lengthwise. Mountain skinks can be distinguished from Tasmanian tree skinks by the markings on the back, which do not contain the whitish flecks usually present on the Tasmanian tree skink.
found in rocky area, basking in the sunshine amongst low vegetation.
