saproscincus mustelinus. Very interesting being in a much more remote area, indicating this specimen is likely wild, unlike the likely translocated population in Canberra. Very interesting record.

Yes I agree with Brian - likely to be a wild population at this location in the nature reserve. A very useful record..

Thanks gents - quite a common species in this area. Living in rotten logs - Snow gum/Mountain gum woodland
