Shingleback Skink

We were out and when we got home the wife lets her dog in. But today the dog didn't come to the door opening.
She called him and he finally came from around the side of the house.
I then heard my name being yell out, so outside I went and I got pointed in the direction to what the dog was looking at.
There was this Shingleback down the side of the house..

I got the wife to get my camera and I got a few shots of while holding it as it is too hard to put it back down then pick up again.
So I just took these while holding it and once done I took it back out bush and let it got over the other side of the train track.
We done usually get one or two of these a year in our yard and I do the same thing with each one of them all the time.

WOW! Nothing like that around here, except at the zoo.

Thanks to you both for your comments.
We on average get one of these through our yards just before summer hits.
I keep picking them up get a few shots and then release them back out bush.
Its the Brown Snakes that I don't like too much, but I don't touch them.
Just try to keep an eye on them and call someone or its the end of them.
