Found in the back garden. About 25cm long including tail. Couldn’t see underside but appears to be either Eulamprus quoyii or heatwolei?

Kind of hard to tell from these images but I think most likely Heatwoli, Quoyii is more of coastal species (rarely seen in Canberra). Could also be E.tympanum, see WillO's comment on Sighting 4350928. Eulamprus tympanum (Southern Water Skink) , hope this helps :).
