Another old picture. Unknown locale due to it being a zoo animal, late 90's from the Australian Reptile Park.
I am told the south coast of NSW is of similar appearance.

I spotted the scabby submissive male 'throwing the leg' over the female this afternoon. The other male was happy enough to just watch.
Would have been nice for them to of done that while filming yesterday.

Re: varieties of cunningham skinks
I made up a few head comparison pictures a while back to show the subtle difference in head shape on another forum. I have been meaning to get around to posting them in here, so here we go.
Sydney sandstone form.
Southern Queensland form.
I dunno if this helps at all.
cheers

Re: varieties of cunningham skinks
Super interesting photos those. The shorter, more rounded face on the males is quite clear. I now need to go and look at my animals....
