yep, I've been going through every source i can find and now convinced it's not Cunni. Major skink looks like the front runner. There is certainly a difference in the spots along the side but "rambo"may be a juvenile and there may be variations in populations. There seems to be in every other species. The pattern on the back seems like Major and little ring around eye is the same.
Thanks for all the interest, if he comes my way again I'll keep you all posted
