Not really sure what I should put as the abundance of this skink... They were along the entire length of Square Rock Track today. This pair posed quite nicely for me. Unfortunately I only got one photo as the flash was on...

Yeah. A lot of the skinks in the area had lost their tails. I suppose they were very cocky, and more likely to be preyed upon...
