I've had C. pannosus in the same area before and I'm pretty sure I'd uploaded it as M. boulengeri and had some correct me. But I definitely could have got it wrong haha.

I just looked up skinks on the Canberra website - I didn't realise there were so many species!

Looks like you were right haha. @BrianHerps could you please explain the difference between the species?
