Thank you NeilD, he snuck out again today so I got another shot of his tail. They are so pretty!
Hi Cherri! Nice skink spotting! This is a five-lined skink. Although the blue-tailed skink looks very similar, it is only found near Australia I think. :) I really like that 2nd picture as the bright blue tail contrasts nicely with those rocks.
