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

Michael, I am not familiar enough with this species in the field to make a useful comment on the status of this species, sorry.

Thanks John I was mainly bringing it to your attention in case it was of interest

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.
