could not believe my luck this morning.
this very sleepy western #skink was on the step. the warm january weather must be messing with it.
these little critters usually move so fast that all you see is a flash of their blue tails.
and don’t worry I gave it a polite nudge and it zipped off into the grass - so hopefully it will not be bird food today.

#lizards@Paperposts Speaking of bird food, when I was in SoCal my garden had a quite a population of fascinating fence lizards. (Dead common, but fascinating to me.) They'd go from tiny things half the size of earthworms to quite respectable lizards in what felt like a few weeks.
And then the proud and ruthless roadrunners would pass through.
Within a couple of days, there were no large lizzards. And the roadrunners disappeared. They'd be back when the lizards were big enough again.
To the roadrunners, I was just personnel managing their lizard farm.

@quixote that’s brilliant- i love the idea of you being a lizard farm manager for road runners.
i do love the fence lizards too, don’t get to large here -
