Olive Tree Skink

Dasia olivacea

Description:

This little lizard approx 4-5" long jumped onto my shoulder from a hanging potted plant that I was moving earlier today. I have never spotted a lizard like this before anywhere. The markings were incredible, the head had different colouring to the body and then the tail was different again, as you can see from the photos

Thank you for the ident S Frazier.
@ Nopayahnah .. I took the photo overhead incase it disappeared before I had chance to take a photo from the side ... very accommodating Olive Tree Skink. I hope it's found a new home.
