Notes

Lifer, found beneath rocks in a small pile, accidently broke the tail off but other wise a very health fat specimen. I can only assume it's a male due to the red coloration on the face. Also seen at this site were numerous worm snakes, fence lizards, ground skinks, and five-lined skinks. My camera was broke so these are Waynes photo's with his permission.
