I think this is our first record of a "suburban" Pink-tailed Worm Lizard - we have suburbs built on former recorded habitat - but not records within a built suburb
User's notes
A stunning Pink-tailed Worm-lizard in a suburban yard in Kambah. This individual had been misidentified by a member of the public as a hatchling eastern brown snake. This is the first individual to turn up in my 8+ years of snake catching in the ACT and NSW surrounds.
