Excellent photographs - well done. A gravid female glossy bog skink (P rawlinsoni). One key id feature is : upper white dorso-lateral stripe on scale row three (from mid-vertebral line) (on scale row 4 in P. pagenstecheri)

@WillO @Wildlifewarrior80 @PatrickCampbell2 @wombey @BrianLR there is a proposal to list this species as nationally vulnerable under the EPBC Act

You may like to decide whether or not you want to change the conservation rating from Local Native to Vulnerable
Cheers Michael Mulvaney

Thanks for letting us know Michael.
I reckon it's a good idea to change the conservation rating to Vulnerable in accordance with the proposal.
