: We followed guidelines for the care and use of animals as laid out by the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour. Experimental protocols were approved by the Macquarie University Animal Ethics Committee (ARA # 2013/039). Collection of skinks was approved by the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service, Office of Environment and Heritage (License # SL101264). Female skinks were captured either by hand, noosing or Eliot trap and were placed in cloth bags until they could be transported by vehicle to Macquarie University from Albury, New South Wales, in an insulated box. We observed no injuries resulting from our cognition experiment.
