Kaylia is right back in her school groove ....... loving every moment of the day because every moment is either re-living the excitement of the day just past ..... or reveling in the anticipation of the day to come!  What a girl!  We are so glad that she is happy.

Today I heard a rustling noise outside ..... and behold!  Our big black skink is now TWO big black skinks!


 This photo is looking down from the 'bridge' near the front door. 


The rectangular object that the skinks are under is about a metre wide

... so it gives you an idea of how big the lizards are.

Egernia kingii, King's skink, is a species of skink native to coastal regions of south-western Australia and is common on Rottnest Island and Penguin Island and some coastal areas with open forest and open heath. It is a large, heavy-bodied black skink that can reach a length of 55 cm with a mass of 220 gm.
