This skink may be found in a range of colours, sometimes almost black.
When two or more skinks are seen in a small area, it is typical to find a nest nearby.
Skinks are considered to be territorial and often are seen standing in front of or guarding their nest area.
Uplands support both the hognose snake and five-lined skink, both of which are considered species of special concern.
Three geckos, one agama, five skinks, one worm-lizard and two lizard species are known to occur as well.
As well as a great many insect species, gecko and skink are commonly found.
Hatchlings may eat small lizards, such as skinks and geckos, and newborn mice.
This very important area also contains marsupial mole, woma python, or kuniya, and great desert skink.
