So where we live we get a lot of wild life and see it often. Some times we can’t get a picture of our animals friends. But today my oldest and youngest found a baby blue tailed skink on our front steps. They came to get me to point it out.
I took a picture of this tiny little skink before it got scarred and went away. We have never seen a baby one before. After I took a picture of got scared and ran into our bushes.

Saya friend. Do you live in an apartment? It's weird that you don't have any animals around you. I cannot say the same thing, I am surrounded by them and I like it very much, for example hearing the birdsong every morning.

Haha we live near the woods and skinks don’t go after people nor do we play with them. It’s there home as much as it is our own. Who said we where going to eat them. Skins are not Poisons to humans they eat bugs.

@Loverabbit my husband says skins are not poisonous there are only 2 types of reptiles that are poisonous and skins are not one of them. You can pretty much eat any animal poisonous when you kill them they are no longer dangerous it’s venomous you have to worry about. You have to know the wild life around and is and isn’t safe to touch or eat. If my kids did touch them they would die from it. A birds nest or a bird I would make them wash there hands. I make them wash there hands after our ferrets.

@profree2019 I don’t know anyone that hurts them. They live all around our house so we see them often. We live near the woods.
