eetbaar ?

According to Wikipedia, they are preyed upon by carnivorous birds, large reptiles and mammals. You may be the only human who has considered eating one, Fred. Best wishes for the new week.

hahahahaha!
It sure doesn't look tasty to me!
Great capture. That's remarkable coloring. I've always wondered what a "skink" looked like, but had never seen one before.

Thanks, Deborah. I don't see these very often. I think they mostly hide under things. They look rather formidable.

Sehr interessant !

Danke schön, Ingrid.

A great find and photo Ronald............a really fascinating looking beast, I like the red colour around it's head.

Thanks, Keith. It's always a surprise to me when I see these things. I guess they spend a lot of their time hiding.
