Lizard

[fyrffytr1]

I was on my screen porch this morning taking some pictures of relics when I caught a glimpse of motion out of the corner of my eye. I looked down and there was a 4 foot
black snake crawling through the flower bed. Whenever I see one I catch it and take it out back to release it into the woods so I went to the garage, got my bucket and extension picker and went to look for the snake. As I rounded the back of the house I saw the snake in the distance heading into the azeala bed. I knew I would never find it in there so I turned back towards the garage and that is when I spotted this guy on the bedroom window ledge. He is a mature southeastern 5 lined skink. They scare the heck out of my wife! I took a few pictures and backed off so as not to spook him.

That's a nice adult male. I caught one last weekend, looked him over, then let him go. Beautiful creatures!

They are cool. Don't grab them by the tail. It'll pop right off.

There were small brown lizards around when I moved into the house I've lived for 28 years now, but it's been a long time since I've last seen one. Most likely they disappeared with all this urban development

Pretty Cool. I've only seen a little blue lizard or skink once on my property. I have no idea what he was, but he was very colorful.
