Think skink

No, I haven't posted a new entry. The last one was unpublished due to it "not meeting community standards".  Since a list of lizards cannot fit that description in any way, I've republished as is.

R O UK?

 Rishi Sunak doesn't sound like the name of a UK Prime Minister but, to be fair, neither does Keir Starmer.

Squamata schemata

 Order Squamata is plentiful in Aus, I haven't even separated the serpents into their respective families blind snakes, pythons, file snakes, colubrid snakes, elapid snakes, true sea snakes, and sea kraits.

Tortoise, well

Noted for their slow movement and longevity; though this possibly doesn't apply to all members of the family Testudinidae. Australia's are turtles in the main. We have pig-nosed turtles, freshwater turtles, sliders (the red-eared slider), sea turtles and leatherback turtles.
