5 lined skink

This poor guy was stuck in in a spider web in our barn basement wiggling around trying to get free. I released him so that he would not die because they are helpful to kill unwanted insects and they are neat to look at. We have a good population of them crawling around the barn and garage buildings. This young fellow gets to live another day.

This may become a new series of critters I see often on our property if you all express interest. We have a lot of wildlife around our homestead because we are far from the city and we own several acres of woods around us. If you want to see more critters please let me know in the comments and I will continue to post more. My intentions isn't to be scientific like some of Hive account@papa-pepper articles but more just pictures and how I found them and what I think about them. Thanks for reading.
