Finally!!!

I've finally managed to catch one of these cuties! It's a tiny little baby, and the colors are AMAZING! It's like a miniature rainbow. So without further fuss, here is a 5 lined skink! (yes I know it's not very rare or elusive, but they're dang hard to catch - especially with a camera!)

I know! That pic is pretty close to the actual colors. It only took me like 30 pictures to get a couple good ones. :doh:

I never saw them while we lived in Georgia, but they're EVERYWHERE here in Alabama. I see them all the time, but they're so freaking fast!

There must have been a recent clutch of the boogers, because I saw at least 4 more in the same area.

I just love them. My husband thought I was going to spend the entire day looking and taking pics of the little guy instead swimming with the family. lol.

Gorgeous!! Very Nice Picture! :gj:

Thanks for sharing Christie ;)

I don't think I have ever seen a five-lined that small either :)

My first reptile was one of those..
D:

It died in 3 days.
I was devastated. It was soo saddening. :[

;__;

Beautiful nonetheless!

Thank you. I was so tempted to keep the little booger, but I made sure I had at least one good pic and let it go.

I'm glad you saw this thread Daniel. I've been stalking around my house like a crazy person trying to catch a good pic. I'm sure my neighbors are ready to have me commited to a nice padded room. lol. :rolleyes:

I hadn't really had a chance to see one so close up, and I never realized how beautiful they were. I'm WAY too proud of myself. :oops:
