Woo! Never before have I seen one with a day-glow blue-green tail! Even the tips of its toes are blue. And there was another just like it a few feet away. These must love the scrub near the path to the beach — perhaps people drop bits of food on their way?
I took several photos; they skitter very quickly and suddenly, really darting about, and the sun was in my eyes, so I’m happy I caught this.
Skink! One of my favorite words in the English language. And I love looking at them, too.
Thank you; I looked up skinks. Great word, great critter. Apparently a juvenile. Some of them are pink where this one is blue. They didn’t say whether it was sex-related. Hm…
