I had to look up to see what a Skink was, as I had not heard of them before.
The blue color on their tails is intense and beautiful!
Mic drop moment. Thanks Siobhan.
Thanks! A little visitor in my front yard.
That blue tail is so different!
Yeah, it really stands out!
Impressive! Never heard of skinks before :)
Their pretty blue tail turns gray as they mature. I'm glad I saw this young one! 🙂
Wow, what an amazing shade of blue!
Yes, it's almost unbelievably beautiful, Sarah. 🙂
Different! Well done. 👍
Thanks! You can thank my resident lizards - we have a lot of them.
Marvelous stones Siobhan. We have skinks here in SC. Interesting little creatures
Thanks, Tina! They are smooth and sleek little critters.
Beautiful!
Yes, it was!
I have never heard of a skink! Very cool.
One of the cooler critters in our yard. 🙂
