SALAMANDERS & SKINKS

We have friends hanging out in the trees beside the camper.
The green ones are salamanders and the big brown one is called a "broad-headed skink".

He is about 9 inches long and is very shy, only coming out completely when we are inside and watch him from a window. They are cool to watch. The green salamanders turn green to brown depending on what they are on.
Hope none decide to come home with us. We have seen them on top of one of the slides on the camper.
