Fresh out of the egg!
If you saw my recent post about catching my largest wild skink ever, then you'll be able to tell by comparison that this tiny Five Lined Skink was not even close to being the largest I've ever caught.
That photo there is the large Broadhead Skink for size comparison. Since my hand is the same size as it was a couple days ago, it should help by providing some scale.
Can't you just see the difference? This one probably hatched very recently, since they really don't get much smaller than this. One of my favorite things about them is that electric blue tail! Isn't it amazing? Anyway, here's another pile of photos. Enjoy!

Cause of you I am more inclined to look at lizard.
Mine are regular.
Yours are cooler with cool color tail.
Keep on postin'
LOL - At least you got regular lizards!
Amazing creature papa.. beautiful
I agree! Thanks for checking it out!
que bello te admiro,me da pánico,agarrarlo
The colors created my nature and evolution are seriously wild. Nice photos and commentary! My friend has had a big problem with skinks poisoning his cats. Haha. They usually have a stroke.
Sounds like his cat needs to lay off the lizards for a bit. These sure were created with some amazing colors, patterns, and capabilities.
You must be super gentile to be able to quickly grab them and not squish them. Haha. Good post!
Yeah, the tail can break off of these too, which kind of ruins it at least for photos, so you've got to be really careful.
@papa-pepper Now that is One COOL LIZARD with the Electric Blue Tail.........
Oh yeah! Gotta love that tail!
The wonders of nature are infinite, but the human being, we do not value those beautiful little things. There are also very interesting microscopic animals. I particularly love chameleons because of their versatility with the environment.
Thank God, there are still people who empathize with little animals.
Such a beautiful skink!
Oh yeah! I love these guys!
Pretty little thing! Glad your hand is the same size as 2 days ago...cuz that would be weird!🖐🏼
LOL - You noticed that too? I thought it was pretty neat! LOL
howdy @papa-pepper! lol! how did you even find that little guy?
so cool looking, I like that blue tail!
The tail tipped me off!
Just stunningly beautiful, such incredible colours! 🌈💛🌴🦋❤️
“The sand fish” in the Arabian desert also looks like this.
阿拉伯半岛沙漠里的“沙鱼”也好像这样的。
Wow! That is a cool skink!
VERY NICE PHOTO
I am getting more understanding why you really like to be in nature. With the various touches of animals you post is so captivating. Consider how the bay skink is on the finger and when it is in the flower. There is a big difference. both size and color composition. In the hands or fingers of the lizard can not hide. but while in his habitat, he will be able to camouflage to save himself and find his food.

You are not scaring them too badly, they are not dropping their tails! Good job, and they are nice pictures!
:DIt's tail is so blue. Blue seems somewhat rare in nature with animals.
Skank?
oh...you said Skink...
well that's different.
never mind.
We have tons of these little guys on our property. I usually see them scurrying around my back porch. The kids just about go nuts when they see them and have even taken up naming them. I don't think they can really tell them apart - but they enjoy it so I see no harm in it. Definitely cute little guys and I am guess they are amazing bug catchers too! cute pics. I really like the ones with the little guy in the lily.
Oh my gosh! It’s so stinking cute! 😻
Gotta love that tail! Very Distinctive...
