Well here’s one.  They sure are colorful little critters, but extremely shy.

From what I read, this a is mature Skink, as evidenced by the bright red around the head.  Supposedly their bright colors fade with age.

I’ve seen this one hanging around since early Spring.

Ana Goncalves - What a beautiful skink!
I love his/hers colors. I wonder whether you can tell if its a male or female just by the colors as noticeable with some you can.June 9, 2010 – 1:11 pm
