It was definitely black, healthy, about a metre long.

They can also bounce off spider webs! Seen them do it a few times now, rather than get caught in it.

Nice shots Kylie. These skinks are a bit special aren't they. Males have these cool, twin pinstripes down the side that get more colourful in the breeding season. Note the four fingers on the front foot that the specific scientific name refers to.

Thanks for clarifying that @clairesandford .
It was most probably a Red-bellied Black Snake if it was relatively big and jet black in colour. Roughly how long was it?
