ID? Skink from Kanangra Walls, Blue Mountains.

This guy is living in my backyard. Is it a golden waterskink? And does it look pregnant? It is so pretty and calm. Didn't think they were in my area.

Went for a month long trip to the East Gippsland area of Victoria as i do over summer every year, and also ventured a little into south coast Nsw. Found many interesting reptiles as usual and also some stunning frog species. Enjoy :D
Eastern Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus) by Matt Clancy...
I purchased this guy a few years back as a Black Rock skink but kept it separate to my others for obvious reasons got an idea what it is and that it is a male as i originally had two which always fought but would like confirmation
These are just some of this seasons finds around melbourne and its surounds
Unfortunately didn't get any good pics of copper heads and tiger snakes although
I did see a few. And still haven't encoutered a white lipped snake to photograph.
Enjoy, Akash
Cunningham skink(Egernia cunninghami)...

Does anyone know if a black rock skink has a bright red belly that it is a male or is this just normal for all black rock skinks. I have two with bright red tommies and one with a more pale belly. I saw them fight once but it wasn't really anything and havn't seen it since. I'm presuming this...

I am trying to put together a full list of species that would be found in warrumbungles national park to save me having to look through my books, so just wondering, what species hae you seen there?
thanks
As everyone knows, there is an incredible diversity of skinks in Australia. The species list at the moment exceeds 370 species. More species are added each year as a result of new discoveries or the splitting of species complexes. One of my favourite groups of skinks are members of the genus...
