Yesterday I went outside and saw this little feller skitter under a juniper bush!
He was accompanied by another little lizard who was the same shape but with a drab little brown head, who I can only assume was his lady friend! Mmm, sexual dimorphism!
After some interwebs investigation, I discovered that he and his lady are five-lined skinks, and I found this lovely picture on Wiki! I have named them Mr. and Mrs. Skink. I think that his first name is George and hers is Caroline, but I could be wrong...I want to ask the next time I see them, but a coworker says that they are bitey. Even though they are cute and probably don't bite very hard, I'd probably catch lizard rabies or bum lice or something.
