    Have one that’s become fearless enough to hang out on the front porch and eat any small bits of dry pet food that gets knocked out of the bowl before I can get to cleaning it up. I’ve also seen it eat bits of leftover scrambled egg etc from the same bowl.

      That’s so cool, I’m in North East Wisconsin and it’s very rare to see one, I was so lucky to catch this fella catching some sun in the middle of the woods on an abandoned railroad track.

        Your picture is really cool! Oh and I’m in North Florida and they’re all over the place here, plus blue tail skinks, and then some kind of small but wide little horny toad-looking type that have blue throats and don’t get real intimidated to run away but if you try and pick them up off, say a rough bark tree trunk, then they’ll hold on pretty tight, though I enjoy them all and just let them be and do what they want.

        Oh and one last thing, since my minds going on now about lizards, heh, I use to have an abundance of green anoles, don’t know how it came about because this didn’t happen until after the first 15 years of living where I am and it’s pretty rural and no other home owners around, but then each year after that I’d see less and less and I wonder now if the bigger native skinks picked them all off? But eh, that’s nature for you then.
