Australian lizards are divided into 5 categories: dragons (Agamidae), monitors (Varanidae), skinks (Scincidae), geckos (Geckonidae) and legless lizards (Pygopodidae). The Scincidae Family contains more species than any other in the world and there are over thirty species of skinks living in a variety of Gold Coast environments.

Skinks range from large terrestrial lizards to slender insectivores and secretive burrowing skinks that are seldom seen above ground. The Fire Tailed Skink (Morethia taeniopleura) grows to 10cm in total length.
