i posted this thread
http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/...oes-anyone-know-what-skink-this-is-pics-99472

and apparently the skink is a Eulamprus tympanum tympanum

on this website called mueseumvictoria.com.au i found this skink but it says there is no common name for this skink: http://museumvictoria.com.au/bioinformatics/lizards/images/lthumblivski.htm

i just want ur opinion to verify that the skink i took pictures of is in fact Eulamprus tympanum tympanum?
thanks

Sdaji and JasonL , know their stuff mate , I would bet a few bucks they got ti right .....

Common names vary from book to book, site to site, locale to locale, thats why we have latin names... but if you search some field guides you will see it down as "Southern Water Skink" in a few of them.. My name of " Mexican Water Skink" was just a shot at Victorians
