Northern Soil-crevice Skink (Proablepharus tenuis) juvenile

This tiny juvenile was found on a fauna survey in the North Kimberley WA. As it matures it will lose the fancy colours and fade to brown. Even as an adult it will be a tiny skink. Finding them involves staring at your feet while slowly shuffling forward.
