If you read about the skink you have this listed as, you will see that it is found in Australia. Yours is either of the two species I have in my suggestion, you can only tell them apart by examining the scales on the underside of the tail. Here's the link for the other species, http://srelherp.uga.edu/lizards/eumine.htm
