The range is restricted and does not match...I just took an off chance. Hope you get an ID soon
I’ve just looked that up but I don’t think it is as the yellow bellied three toed skink is found in a strip in the eastern Australia, where we are central and it said it feeds at night but I have seen these here in the day.
But thanks for the suggestion all the same.
The yellow belly made me look up Saiphos equalis, commonly known as the yellow-bellied three-toed skink.
Thanks! Nice to have some photos to add.
We've moved countries in the mean time!
Good to see you back 2LTs.
If not so far out of range i would have suggested McCoy's skink.
