Peek-a-boo Skink

Skinks are lizards. The kinds around here (NC, US) are colorful.  I often see them in shiny blue color or in orange color.  They are fast and seem to be shy. They will scurry away quickly when they see you. I think they are kind of cute.  I found this one a bit more brave or was curious of me. I had a little chance to take pictures of it. This was a rare case for me.

        🙂 I saw a Red Salamander the other day first time in many many years seeing a critter like that no lizards are cool if I go this way and they go THAT WAY 🙂

    It’s beautiful and my favorite color is orange ! I had never seen orange lizards, just i saw some greens and gray in France. But, it’s difficult to have seen all the animals ! Thanks for this nice picture !

      I am glad you like the orange color lizards. You are right. Different places have different kinds. I do not recall seeing these color in Fl. US. as well. They are in green or gray there too.

      Thank you.

    It has cut eyes, looking you curiously. I’ve never seen such a colorful lizard in Japan, except for a zoo or somewhere. Marvelous shot!!

      I think it is a curious little creature. This perhaps thought it was safe inside the hollow to take a long peek 🙂
