This is the first time I spotted one of these in my garden. We usually see blue-tailed skinks, but he was quite a great deal bigger and had this amazing crimson color on his head. It looked like his tail had been damaged and is regrowing.
Saw another one of these recently (March 14, 2012) curled up on a bald cypress stump amidst some poison ivy, sunning himself at a forest trail.
