User's notes

This was a very large skink in an overgrown grassy area in our yard. Its SVL was ~ 25 cm and diameter ~ 3 cm. We were relieved to see the legs! Until then we thought it was a snake. A few years ago, an adult, blue-tongued skink was in this same patch of grass. Could this skink be a young blue-tongue?
