This is a legless lizard i found recently. Can anyone tell me what species it is?

Here are two more. Does anyone know how to make photobucket photos show up as thumbnails?

Cool as Elfling, You dont find herps like that here! lucky you.

its genus Lerista, not sure which one, im going off wilson &swan, theres heaps. possiblt L.muelleri or L.punctatovittata both there ranges spread through your area, more likely punctatovittata imo.

eitherway a very nice lizard!
Dont worry about pic size, If you wait a few secs it auto resizes, I thought it would life easier.
if you want thumbnails, use an account on Imagefree (the big 'UPLOAD IMG' button, or upload by attachment (only 1 at a time this way but).

Thanks for that Dan. We get quite a few around here, so far I have seen 3 of them this summer. I remember in primary school every couple or so months someone would have found one and bring it in a jar to school. Ahh the memories

, so long ago eh Gav

Found out that it is a lerista punctatovittata, which makes you spot on Dan. Great identifying there.

Im gonna come herping up your way one day Gav!
Btw the headshot is great, dunno how you got it to stay still!

???? it kinda has legs...

LOl OM, Ive been legless a few times and Ive got legs too!

They're vestigial limbs.
