The adult male broadhead skink is brown or olive brown with an orange head and wide jaws. I encountered this one on a boardwalk at the lake. He was moving along in a hurry, but then realized that I stood between him and the place he wanted to go. He stopped, uncertain about whether or not to proceed. Finally, he mustered up his courage and moved forward, and I politely stepped out of his way.

Wow! He’s amazing!
He was a stunning little fellow! 🙂
What a petty little creature! More colorful than the skinks we have here.
I’ve read that their heads become more vibrant during breeding season. I’m thinking that could the case here.
