Not so boring & plain after all? :LOL: (I kid :p)

One reptile I hope to get in future is a crocodile skink they literally look like freakin dinosaurs
Crocodile skinks are cool. :cool: According to Wiki, there are 10 species.




Another is the Mexican Alligator Lizard (A.K.A. Abronia Arboreal Alligator Lizard)





Reptiles are awesome except ofc the one reptile I don’t like the LEGLESS LiZARd
That covers literally hundreds of species.

I love them! its so interesting that they look after their babies!

I had some cordylus lizards that did that and actually sat on top of the babies to protect them from any intrusion into the cage.

Also there is a big blackish Australian skink that allows the offspring to live with them for a long time...but every now and then they kick one out....no rhyme or reason that has been figured out yet as far as I know. There was a guy I know working with them and he used to give me the ones that got kicked out because he hoped I could figure out why they got kicked out and if they could be put into a group together. I never did figure it out. (I think the guy just didn't know what to do with them and didn't want to have a separate cage for every one that got kicked out!)
Land Mullet? So you ran a reform school group home for incorrigible recalcitrant teenage skinks? :eek:

Reproduction​

Like their close relatives the Cunningham’s skink, land mullets are live bearers with females giving birth to 4-8 baby lizards in late summer some three months after mating. These juveniles will often stay around the parents for some time forming an extended family group before heading off to find their own mates and territories.

I also found 4 ring neck snakes yesterday 😂
You been herpin', kiddo! 😃 Good 4 U!

First time I recall specifically going herping, I might have been around your age. It was a hiking trip with a regional hiking club, but I was about whatever reptiles & amphibians I could find. I turned over a rotten log near a stream and exposed a colony/huddle of spotted salamanders. (Not my photo)

Startled the 💩 out of me! 😱 The only salamanders I'd seen (in person) before that were plain & about the size of your little finger.

😂 yup just in my front yard I’ve found ten ring necks in the last month one day I found 11 in one day 😂 now I wish I had herped when I had ten acres ( last summer I lived in ten acres now I live in a neighborhood) at my old house we found a ton of copperheads and bobcats and snapping turtles 😂.

that is so cool! Salamanders are one of my favs hopefully find some soon!
