Calyptotis scutirostrum
I moved a sleeper in the yard today and found a Calyptotis scutirostrum under it. These guys look a bit like a common garden skink (Lampropholis delicata), but these guys can be distinguised by their shorter legs and longer, thicker tail (if original).
Calyptotis scutirostrum
Calyptotis are fossorial skinks, meaning they like to live underground. I’ve found quite a few in my yard under logs and rocks.

Very nice… what SVL for this little trooper?

The snout to vent length is about 60mm I think.
