Hey little buddy!

Always makes my day to find a nice lizard or salamander ๐Ÿ˜

Pretty amazing how far north skinks live, I had no idea. Very impressive for a warm blooded animal to be able to adapt to such a cold climate.

Yeah! Especially for such a teeny guy. These ones are in cozy coastal California though, enjoying a sun warmed pot of loose garden soil full of tasty little pincher bugs.

Do they hibernate in the winter?
