Skink of a different color

I finished my Sand Skink board survey in the south tract over the weekend. I had hits on 40 out of 76 boards. However, the significant find was a Peninsular mole skink twice at one of the monitoring stations. It had a red tail instead of a blue one that you find on the Blue-tailed mole skink, which I have also seen here. I was told they are rarely seen, so I feel fortunate.
