This year we seem to have a large population of Broadhead skinks. These lizards can be nasty & will draw blood if they bite you... My son knows all too well.

Being from a cold winter state we do not have many of these type of animals running around. However, I take it that lizards eat insects as their food source, thus are probably beneficial to gardeners etc. - Millet

Millet you are correct. I got these photos today as they were hunting for insects in the citrus trees.

Those are some nice photos Laaz!

My camera sucks at close-up shots.

What camera are you using?

I love to watch those guys hunt down a fly in our screen porch-- they will often jump from a foot above them!

Came home for lunch today & found two of these bad boys fighting. One took off across the yard & the other stood his ground.
