this one was just in the sanctuary not in the tuatara enclosure

Definitely plague skink because it only has one frontoparietle scale

Has one frontoperiatle scale so is a plague skink

Under log; SVL probably <40mm

Small brown skink, no obvious colour or stripes. In hilly grassy paddock, under foxglove when pulled out.

I’m hopeful it is a nz skink and not a plague skink but don’t know. I now know to take side on photos if possible.
It was found under a rotting board

Found in a large muddy puddle on farmland when I was tramping. Nearly metamorphosised froglet.

Found dead - a small one
