The Metallic Cool-skink[1] or Metallic Skink (Niveoscincus metallicus) is a species of skink in the Scincidae family. It is endemic to Australia, found in southern Victoria, as well as in Tasmania where it is the most widespread and common lizard, occurring on many offshore islands in Bass Strait as well as the mainland. It gives birth to live young. It is highly variable and may be a complex of closely related species.[2][3]
