dark juvenile Cyclodomorphus michaeli
 
well to be more specific it is from Beecroft peninsula.
 
I don't think it looks much like a Cyclo at all. Sure length wise. But the head is really quite thin and pointed no cyclo shape and its scales look strongly strongly keeled.
 
yeah was thinking juvenile something, but the tail is throwing me for everything but cyclo.

Tas go take a picture of it from almost directly above slightly behind the animal, try not to get it too in focus, especially the head. I wanna see if that reticulum could give the keeled appearance and generally compare. :p
 
Nah doesn't really show what I wanted. Does show how much thicker and blunter the heads of Cyclodomorphus are though.

Of course one must realise yours is a different species and take that variance into account. I still think it doesn't look Cyclodomorphus.
