Skink

There is one lizard native to the Territories, the five-lined skink. This small lizard grows up to about two and a half mouse-lengths. It’s mainly an insectivore, eating crickets, grasshoppers, spiders and sometimes snails. It can dig rapidly and efficiently, so skinks have been known to raid mouse beetle and cricket farms when they’re hungry.
They prefer to sun themselves on rocks in the morning before hunting. They winter in deep burrows. Their tails can detach and act as a decoy to help them escape a sticky situation.
