Plague skink or native?
I caught this guy in a fish and chip shop, dropped tail, very dehydrated and some kind of spinal injury, his back legs don't work.
Seems to get around ok with front legs, but he can't hunt or escape predators like this, if he's native I'll contact.. doc maybe? If he's a plague skink and still alive in a week I'll build him a permanent home unless his legs come right. I keep other reptiles so I'm happy to look after him.
