About Cyclodomorphus casuarinae (Duméril & Bibron, 1839)

The she-oak skink, with the scientific name Cyclodomorphus casuarinae, is a large, long-tailed, snake-like skink species that is endemic to Tasmania, Australia. It reaches a maximum total length of approximately 30 centimetres, and its tail makes up over 60% of its total body length. This species is viviparous: it mates in spring, and gives birth in late summer. It is related to the more robust blue-tongued skinks of the genus Tiliqua, and it was previously classified under the name Tiliqua casuarinae.
