Wil - this looks like an Aprasia skin and is found within a known habitat. However is it possible to tell it definitively from another legless lizard such as Delma?

I would accept this record Michael. The slough and scales looks very like Aprasia. Also it appears to be situated in an ant burrow - something Delma tend not to do. Cheers, Will

Just to let you know, I have been keeping records of Aprasia from this area (Mt Stromlo - ANU farm and former Blewett's pine forest) for many years now. Aaron can you check that the location shown by the lizard marker is correct. Thanks, Will
