Great photos showing how adaptable these rock skinks are! Cunninghams Skinks have a largely herbivorous diet (from a diet study undertaken by Richard Barwick near Canberra many years ago). They might find it tougher going during the drought. WillO

Thanks Will. Our family probably do better than others as they are in the garden with lots of shelter provide. They are very partial to lettuce seedlings and capeweed flowers. Peter
