    This beautiful skink is very common on PR and its satellite islands, but this was actually one of the few adults I saw! The juveniles of course are not nearly as pretty, so I'm glad this one posed for me! Posted 7 months ago

        This one was maybe half that. I saw one really big one (maybe 60 cm) but hidden under bushes, impossible to photograph. Posted 7 months ago
