Thanks Will. Agree photos of the live animal would have been best but with the warmth at the time of day of our site visit they would have been way too quick off the mark to photograph. As far as we are aware CUBS haven't found any D . impar at this site to date.

Thanks for the record. The two specie are usually not present at the same site, but there are enough records from sites where both occur very close to each other that care needs to be taken in using other reports of D. inornata from the site as being support for calling it D. inornata. It can be difficult identifying to species from a photograph of a skin slough but the photos are good. The total length estimate in this case doesn't help to separate D. impar and D. inornata because D. impar can grow to about 300mm and D. inornata to over 400mm. I cannot see the head shields clearly enough to check if postnasal scales are present (present in D. inornata but absent in D. impar). However the number of mid body scale rows (18) would confirm it as D. inornata (13-16 in D. impar). Based only on the fact it is a Delma and has 18 mb scale rows I suggest (given the site is in the ACT) we accept the record as Delma inornata.

Thanks Don. Both were pretty much same height and build. They bolted quickly once they spotted me. I'll change the gender to male.
