Chalcides ocellatu
Also called Eyed Skink. This pair are pets, and they are not native to this area. This is a breeding pair, the male is the one who's head is further from the camera. They are native to Mediterranean area, but photos and info on them is uncommon, so I wanted to upload a picture. They like to burrow in the sand, and enjoy mealworms, crickets, and the occasional bite of wet cat food.
Found in the Mediterranean, they like dryish environments with lots of sand/gravel to burrow and hide.
