Image of Oligosoma polychroma (Patterson & Daugherty 1990)
Description:
A skink that Laura found dead on Victoria Park Road. It was slightly squashed, perhaps by a runner. It was not there at about 7:30 pm and there on her return about 8 pm. I photographed it later that evening. Is this a common skink or a McCann's skink? I'm still hazy on how to reliably tell them apart.
