this is a cool find, burtons are not very common in the ACT, and even less common in the urban reserves. I know they have been recorded from Majura Ainslie in the past, but mustn't have been seen there for a while. Yes this individual has dropped some of its tail, its a common occurrence in legless lizards, this animal will most likely be fine.
