Small brown skink, no obvious colour or stripes. In hilly grassy paddock, under foxglove when pulled out.
I’m guessing the type of skink.
It was between 2 layers of woollen underfelt in the garden. The S shape position photo was how it was when I first lifted the top layer of underfelt.
It was interesting to see the tiny new tail
Found in a large muddy puddle on farmland when I was tramping. Nearly metamorphosised froglet.
