We were planting some new bulbs today in our herb/flower garden. We also moved some Asiatic lily bulbs from the front of the house to the back yard as well. When I looked into a bucket we used to move the lily bulbs I noticed this colorful little guy. He is a Five Lined Skink. He is about 5 inches long, and he has lost a part of his tail. We’ve never seen one around before. He’s now making a new home in our bulb/herb/flower garden.

This is an amazing photo, Maj and Sher. When I have seen a snake, they usually slither by very quickly. Too quickly for a photo. He likely feels safe in his new home.🙂 Erica

Thanks, Erica. He was in the referenced bucket so I had a controlled setting. 😉 Thanks for the visit and kind comment.
