MOM I FOUND SOMETHING AMAZING!
You have to understand our 3 year old. He is as loud as he is big. He is VERY exuberant, so when he finds something new and exciting, the whole world will know.
How his discovery didn’t leave with all of his racket, I will never know. I actually believe he had it cornered and it didn’t move a muscle out of pure fear. It was fun for me to see too, as I have never seen one ether.
MOM, I FOUND SOMETHING AMAZING.
A BLACK LIZARD WITH A BLUE TAIL AND YELLOW STRIPES. COME QUICK!
I have been tickled pink this year, to see our little guy start to settle down, and find things to occupy himself. Things that interest him and amaze him. He particularly likes to take things apart with screws, so I have to watch him on that one. Today he was outside in the courtyard, working away on his stump ( I will explain that one later) , when he ran in with great news of something new to him.
He found this.
I did a little research and we discovered that it is a native Florida skink. I had to use their photo, as my camera lens fogged up because it is so darn humid here today and the picture was fuzzy
Peace to all skink finders today!
LOL! we see those buggers a lot around here (caught one in our front foyer closet once too). I googled them when we first moved into this house 2 years ago and although I haven’t read about them in a while, I’m under the impression that they’re poisonous? i think that’s what I read. anyway, they don’t bother us though, and it’s fun to see them streak across the yard.
We’re in South Carolina however…perhaps they moved up here to get away from the hurricanes?
