Black Rock Skink Egernia saxatilis intermedia

We have a gorgeous big black Skink living in our Stable which is next to the Chook pen. I have noticed he goes into the Chook pen and at first I thought he was taking the Bantam eggs.. but then I read that he in omiverious, so I think he is quite happy eating the leafy vegie and fruit scraps I empty into the Bantams each day. He is really beautiful, I have been able to photograph him sitting on top of timber in the stable and talk to him. Don't know if skinks can hear, but he disappears, when I open the stable door.. Just love him hope he stays around as I have an Organic garden just nearby and he is very welcome

How can you tell what sex a black rock skink is? ??

riley flick they were not black rock skinks as the intermedia subspecies northern limit of distribution is around Newnes Plateau and the saxatilis subspecies is restricted to the Warrumbungle Mountains area. What you probably saw was a Egerniamcpheei which is similar looking species which its southern limit of distribution is around Barrington Tops in NSW.

Hi, i am from Coffs Harbour and i found some off these under a sheet off tin near a creek. They were interesting as i have never seen them before so i caught them and released them at my house.
