A long, robust, uniform brown,unidentified skink. (I was looking at Eugongylus sp. but I am in no way certain).
Captured along a forest survey transect through coastal freshwater swamp forest.
Captured by a village laborer and brought to me at base camp. I was lucky to get this one photograph in the bottom of a white plastic container because the skink was very active and fast. Released to the wild.

Hi Carol1. Thanks. Yes this spotting is already labeled as a skink and Scincidae is the family of skinks. I hope to eventually identify this skink down to its species name. I will leave the scientific name blank so that others will see that it still needs a species name. :-)
