Guess - Lizard

[GeckPhotographer]

Yep you got it there for sure. Give me your top 3 and I'll reveal it regardless.

Hmm I am not a small skink person, this here is not actually that small a skink. But in most cases head scales are very important. In terms of telling the genus apart when you have a skink in hand it is very easy with a little experience, I advize getting out there with some people that know there skinks to get as much experience as possible it helps heaps even when you come across something else new.

Thanks mate. Hard to find people who are really into small skinks haha. I know a few so we'll see what happens
Thanks!

Plimpy I see most small skinks as snake or lizard food.

Glaphyromorphus nigricaudis
Glaphyromorphus pardalis
Glaphyromorphus punctulatus

Yes or no?

 

[GeckPhotographer]

I'd never actually handle one, too afraid of the tail dropping off.
But yeah if we could feed herps to other herps in Vic I would have a Burton's by now.

Glaphyromorphus mjobergi
Glaphyromorphus pumilus
Glaphyromorphus timorensis
?

These..?

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Yes top. G.mjobergi.

 

[dihsmaj]

Yes top. G.mjobergi.

My turn then...

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Certainly is.

 

[dihsmaj]

 

[GeckPhotographer]

So small pic. Hard to tell if it is skink or dragon.

 

[Tassie97]

too small

[GeckPhotographer]

Is it an Egernia? (I always seem to jump to this.)

 

[dihsmaj]

Is it an Egernia? (I always seem to jump to this.)

Nah, not big enough to be an Egernia (disregarding White's Skink).
It was described in 1874.

 

[GeckPhotographer]

That rules out my next two or 3 guesses.

 

[dihsmaj]

It's also really common.

So really, no-one knows?

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Was busy looking for answer now.

Saproscincus mustellinus or S.rosei?

 

[dihsmaj]

Saproscincus mustellinus

Woo! We have a winner.

 

[GeckPhotographer]
