I had seen a few of these aptly-named skinks in 2001 when I first visited this part of Florida with my friend Dr. Peter May. Unfortunately, the few pictures I got at that time were all on the only roll of film that I've ever lost in the mail. Fortunately, I got another chance to visit Dr. May and his colleague Dr. Terry Farrell. Terry found another of these skinks and we managed to wrangle a few photos out of it, despite its strong desire to wriggle away.

Little. Brown. Definitely a skink.

This was the only lizard I saw on a cool morning that also featured eleven ring-necked snakes.
