Coventry's skink? http://museumvictoria.com.au/bioinformatics/lizards/images/ncovlive2.htm

This one was at a rubble pile in Buxton so could qualify for either habitat. I know little of skinks and PN and the mission is my excuse to learn. I'm not convinced about my ID and kind of popped it there as a bookmark.

I've noticed we have this 'other' kind of skink, always in grass, darker and more flexible or 'wriggly' than the common striped and fast running ones that like to hang around rocks and timber... are you happy with that ID ? The way that tail is curved I wonder...
