Wow....I ALWAYS learn something when visiting your blog, my friend. I am 57 years old, and this is the first time I ever heard of a "skink." The first time I read the title, I thought it was a mis-spelling of skunk and I was wondering how you smelled today...lol....
Very cool about the tail! Never heard of that either.
You should see the next skink post I'm going to make! Check out this sneak preview:
Is that a baby, or...?
