I saw a lizard today! A little skinky thing, which the field guides online say was probably a ground skink. It was very very tiny, only about two inches long with the tail, but I suppose it could have been a baby of some other species. Definitely skinkish though. I’d love to encourage him to stick around, but while I have an okay handle on bird and butterfly attraction, lizard attraction not so much. Leave out hot rocks?

I always liked the name “Skink” but was unable to use it for an RPG character because I knew they’d be branded “Skank” within about four seconds of introduction. Oh, well…
