Notes
Found under an old board. Had rained hard the last two nights but was now clear. ID is made based on the appearance of 30+ scale rows and 5 upper labials. All of the other eumeces seen that week were juveniles with blue tails. A ground skink was found nearby.
I have now been informed that this is more likely to be fasciatus and that they can sometimes have 5 upper labials too.
