These little skinks were common on the sand dunes of the beaches. They rarely ventured far from the ground-cover plants that clung to the dunes, and the first ten or so I tried to photograph managed to skitter out of sight before I could get a good photo. I eventually managed to catch one and then released it far from any vegetation, so it would pose in the sand. When we had finished taking photos, I encouraged it back towards its protective plant cover.

Here is a complete list of the reptiles and frogs I saw on this trip to Western Australia.
