Skilton's skink ~ 04/07/13 ~ Garland Ranch
Swoon. Bright blue is my favorite color. The juveniles and young adults have blue tails, and when they're ready for some lovin' they turn flushy orange. They're remarkably shiny. I've seen western skinks many times before, but this was the first time I could capture a couple on camera. I was surprised to see one retreating to a hole. I usually don't think of lizards as being burrowing animals.
