Exquisite Alborn skink located while population monitoring! I have obscured its location considerably.🦎
Photo taken during permitted pitfall trapping
my first of 3 I have ever seen in the wild. very high up!
Just before I saw this guy I thought to myself "huh, I wonder if there are Jewelled geckos about, this looks ideal"... my jaw then dropped.
My first Jewelled gecko, what a beauty. Took three years but finally have seen one. Ended up seeing a second one not too long after! Very hard to see the gecko once it slinks into the divaricating shrub, it is very sensitive to noise and movement.
Very happy to see they are around. Wasn't expecting this at all. Hopefully I can get a better photo next time. My herp drive is now replenished!
Moved slowly across path then climbed tree
