salamander

Very cool.

The skin tells you it's a reptile right away, salamanders have moist, scaleless skin. Also, the pointed head and forward facing eyes are unlike any caudate I've ever seen.

I agree that it is a legless lizard, but I've only seen them in books.

i have seen legless lizards at my lfs/reptile store. except the ones they had were way bigger than this one. looks the same though, just bigger.

thanks for the info,
I did a few search on this animal, still could not find the right type of it. It may be a legless lizard, however just like its called, the " legless lizard " has no legs, off course, but the one that I found does have legs, and they are so tiny just like on the pictures,
sorry guys, just wanna know more about this reptile; one thing for sure, that it does not live in the water, but it lives on the moisture area just like where I found it.
anyway I let the creature go, after a few snap shots, couse I think its better for it to be in its nature,... so its free now...
I know what legless lizard is, couse I found them as well in my backyard a long time ago, cool huh, and the lizard body was black and silverish color, no legs though.

It is a species of skink. I could not find much good info on your country's skinks, but you could probably get some help by contacting a local university or museum.

There are no salamanders in Indonesia. The closest they get is parts of Laos and Vietnam.

Yep, it's definitely some type of skink.

Yep can see scales. Salamanders and newts don't have scales.
