Bobtail Skink - Tiliqua rugosa

Normally I don’t like to upload to many of the same species. This one however is the first near to newborn one I have found . The youngster was foraging in a coastal heath area and was less then 20 Cm long.

Don't hold back on sharing multiple photos of the same species, Ernst, even less so for unique species like these. Posted 4 years ago

The Bobtail Skink

"Tiliqua rugosa" is a short-tailed, slow moving species of blue-tongued skink found in Australia. Three of the four recognised subspecies are found only in Western Australia, where they are known collectively by the common name bobtail. The name shingleback is also used, especially for "T. rugosa asper", the only subspecies native to eastern Australia.
