General Species Information:
Found in the Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere
5 fingers & 5 toes.
Matt said "Whilst a particularly dark specimen, this is the plain backed form of Liopholis whitii. Immediately recognisable as a Liopholis species, the small black patch containing the white spot (usually 1 to 3) above the forelimb and the pale upper lip give it away."
