Tube Skink

Paper towel tubes make a good, cheap toy for blue--tongued skinks. I'm half surprised Rhino managed to stuff himself into one given how big he's getting.

Blue Tongue Skink in the Grass

I took Rhino outside to play today. I was lucky with the camera. He gave me a couple of good shots of his tongue flicking out.

I always have to be very careful when he goes outside. Most of the time he just watches the cars go by, but sometimes he goes looking for strange things to eat or for tricky places to hide. Fortunately, he never goes anywhere fast, so I'm usually able to scoop him up if he starts getting into trouble.
