The photos that aren't of an archery target are of the archery lizard. This water skink was keeping an eye on things from under the club house.

One of the neighbourhood water skinks on the footpath in front of our house this morning, trying to soak up some warmth in a gap between rain showers.

Resting his chin on the rock where his food bowl gets put, looking for all the world like he's thinking "Why is there no food here? This is where my food normally appears. I definitely should be getting food right now. Can't you see I'm wasting away."

A new species of legless Malagasy skink with a name that one surely cannot forget! The authors of its description propose it to be listed as Endangered based on the fragmentation of its sandy habitat. Meet the remarkable Zig zag.

A 30cm skink just now.
Cropped from a larger max resolution image, so you can zoom in for lots of detail—not too far, it's only a resaved phone pic!
I get lots of skinks, typically only ~10-15cm long—as you can see, they get bigger. We also get blue & pink tongues, which are longer & much wider skinks.
Gotcha Day goodies for Jerry.

Tempting as it is to give that tail a boop/stroke I must resist, because that is the one and only way to annoy this lizard. Something touching his tail when he's inside his hollow log is the only thing that ever makes him hiss. Even getting some water on his tail while I'm watering the plants down that end of his enclosure will result in him audibly complaining.

More often than not this is the view I get of the scaly sausage: the end of his tail sticking out of his hollow log.
He absolutely loves that log, and spends a lot of his time just hanging out in there. I was very lucky to get it. Shortly after I bought Jerry a tree surgeon ended up with some natural hollow logs from their work, and decided to offer them up for sale on a local reptile Facebook Group. A rare opportunity, with perfect timing, and it turned out that the logs were an ideal size for Jerry's enclosure.
