Hmm, Challenging Shade Skink or Challenger's Shade Skink; something tells me that one of these two names is the result of a misunderstanding, but I'm not sure which one. These small skinks were common in the wet semi-tropical rainforest at Lamington National Park.
This skink was formerly included in the genus Lampropholis.
Here is a complete list of the reptiles and frogs I saw on this trip to Australia.
