@JudyEv I would love to have a few around my garden. They would make great friends.

@Asylum I'm hoping I might be able to tame this one, seeing I saved his life.

You are such a sweetheart Judy. I have saved so many lizards, they do the same, they enter inside the bins and then they are unable to get out.

Thanks. I try to keep containers upside down or with lids on but after some months I forget again.

Yes it would @JudyEv We have the horned toads here who dine on ants regularly but I no longer have any in my own yard, darn it.

So a skink is similar to a lizard?

@JudyEv We have many lizards but none that big.

I guess they are just a big lizard. I must do some research one day and find out the differences - if there are any.

Poor little thing, glad you got to him in time. didn't realise they like bread. How about some peanut butter as well!

@Ronrybs He was outside the shade-house later so I think he'll be okay. I didn't see him today but I didn't really look and it would be a pretty hopeless proposition anyway.

He would probably have preferred mince but I wanted to get something for him before he disappeared. It seems he ate nearly all of it.

He's a creepy looking little guy, like a cross between a snake and a lizard.

We are used to them now and they don't frighten us any more.

I've never heard of a skink. Is it in the lizard family?

They are usually very, very timid so he must have been quite distressed not to run away.

I doubt he will stay so docile but it would be nice if he did.

He had moved outside the shade house again by night fall so I hope he'll be okay.

These look a lot like our Salamanders here in the states. So what do they do besides hang around your place?

I've only ever seen them hanging around our place.

I guess they eat insects or whatever in the bush and just live skink lives.

It is a good feeling.. I've rescued a few rodents that wandered into the house and were cornered by the cats. Usually with mice I let the cats have at it.. but something like a chipmunk I might try to help it out..

@JudyEv My dog who thinks he's a cat caught a really large mouse the other day. We don't normally get such big mice, normally they're tiny things, like maybe an inch or two long, not much bigger than a tube of lipstick. But this one was actually pretty large, at least the size of a toilet paper roll. I thought it was a rat and made hubby dispose of the body. He said it wasn't a rat but I'm not sure I believe him. I'm completely freaked out.

I'd dispose of mice in the house if I got the chance too.
