This tiny skink lives round our house. I'm happy to see it, but don't know what kind it is. I just hope it's not a Plague skink:
Native to Australia, plague skinks were first recorded in Auckland during the 1960s and are now posing a threat to our rare native lizards. …
They look do look very similar to native skinks but are smaller.
Plague skinks are able to reach high population densities in a relatively short time. Because of this they potentially compete with our native lizard species for food, habitat and space.
