Abstract
Ctenotus taeniolatus is a common skink inhabiting eastern Australia. Lizards hatch at 33 mm SVL and reach sexual maturity at 52 mm (female) and 43 mm (male). Females are oviparous laying 1-7 eggs in a single clutch each summer. Spermatogenesis, ovulation and mating all occur in spring. Clutch sizes are related to body size.
