Habitat and behavior
Sphenomorphus jobiensis is a terrestrial skink found in forest habitats. It is a relatively large skink that is fast-moving and difficult to catch, and often bites when handled.[2]
gollark: It is, however, only present on my laptop and backups of my laptop.

gollark: I think I'm "working on" a search thing vaguely similar to Recoll but ideally faster, personal wiki software, 4D tic-tac-toe (without multiversal time travel), and inevitably other stuff I forgot.
gollark: Of course, I have no specifications or willingness to pay anyone anything whatsoever to develop these, so basically you would just have to spend vast amounts of time guessing what I wanted.
