Yeah...I can see how you're in a confusing integrade range over there.

Well I found it on the WEST side..

I would call it gilberti gilberti. If not that than an integrade between gilberti and rubricaudatus. This is based on my conversations with p. gilberti experts about my own skinks that I found in northern Kern county, which appeared to them to be integrades leaning towards P. gilberti gilberti.
