I wonder how the tail would do for fishing. iv accidentally took some lizard tales off trying to catch but never tried fishing with them

hmm I suppose they would work, but not a lot of meat on there for hooking and move fast so its still wiggling.

the juices might help bring fish in

It's definitely from the genus Mabuya, but it could be Mabuya brevieollis or nigropunctata

When I looked at the thumbnail, I thought you had created a bow and arrow set with a target in construction behind it. I was surprised to see the beautiful skink when I looked at the full view.

Thats odd

I think that was the craziest one I have experienced. Most of the time it is just not realizing the details or something, but getting the general idea. That lizard totally threw me for a loop!

defs a skink, but yeah, never seen redtailed before, weird! shame your kitties got to it first

Yeah he lived fast,died young

We have lots of skinks around here - not stripy and red-tailed like this one, but a very similar body shape. So I go with the consensus - it's a skink.

I live in the highdessert and most of ours are rough brown lil guys. Im surprised I havent seen this kind before.

Awww lil cutie! Maybe his tail is red if he is trying to protect himself? You know, like a defence colour change? Many lizards change colour? OK, I'll shut up now coz I really have no idea what it is lol
π: 0 β©: 1
It might be a natral color warning yeah. I dont know if they change ,but might be born that way.

He's the same family as the little blue fellas you mentioned, but it's a really varied family. Some of them get red markings during mating times

Heck with the lizard, what BOOK is he on?!?

That is a page out of Smithsonian that I have saved for years. A feature on ancient books I think.Pretty neat huh? I have a few photos of old gilded astrological diagrams and illuminated documents written I think in latin.
I love them
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, excellent! I try to save stuff like that whenever I come across it, but it's so hard to find sometimes...

Go to ebay and look at antiquarian books. Sometimes sellers will take good close shots of the open pages. I also have a book called "the rainbow book" by F.Lanier Graham. That has some old black and white diagrams or the universe and such. Taht could be very inspiring if you wanted to make your own.
Someday I might print these out on velum so I can make a fake antique book.

Yeah, lizards are way better than a cat or dog

I woudlnt say that. I lvoe all critters ,but lizards and bugs are alot of fun to watch. I used to not care much for cats till I found two baby ones abandoned in a feild not even thier eyes open. I fed them with a bottle and now Im their mom.

Just wait till they start scrathcing up all the furniture
π: 0 β©: 1
My furniture is crap anyway ,but they are 2 years old now and still dont. Probably if I bought nice new furniture they would.

Be glad, my brother's cats scratch, piss on, puke on and destroy and new furniture and clothes leave out of the bderooms that they're restricted from.

Skink. Ive never seen a red-tailed one before! You found it?
π: 0 β©: 1
Skink? I never heard of it before and Ive lived in the highdessert all my life. Hmm yeah the red tail really got my attention.
It somehow got in my house and unfortunatly my kitties left it for me.
π: 0 β©: 1
aw. I would keep it and bring it to a scientist, herpetologist, or vet? Who knows! Maybe youve found a new species!

That would be neat huh?
