Light-loving baskers like skink lizards are poorly represented in the shady green cathedrals of this part of the world. However where sunlight penetrates to the ground along creeks, farmland, gardens, pathways and roads some species can be quite common. Some species have become capable tree climbers in order to find basking perches.
