Identify Such Mysterious Creatures
Because of ignorance, I was frightened by a harmless lizard in my home. If I had known the facts about this tiny creature, I may have made a special effort gently to remove it from my kitchen and free it outdoors where it could have thrived. I shared this experience through this website. And many viewers, at my request, identified the creature for me, and told me that I had no reason to be afraid of it. By providing links to several websites on skinks, I hope to encourage others to learn about these innocent little creatures who only appear ugly and scary to the uneducated mind.

Maybe a couple running around my house would make monthly visits from my exterminator unnecessary -- and save me some money, too. 8/16/07 Newsgroup: Rec.Pets.Herp. Good place to go to share information with others who keep skinks -- and other lizards -- as pets. 8/16/07 Skinks in the classroom. Looks like you can build a whole curriculum around skinks.
