2GT Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 I saw this last weekend in Maryland. These lizards are called Skinks and they were battling over a female. This went non stop for about 20 minutes. I never saw this before, but when a second male showed up it got serious. Skink Battle.MP4 Skink Porn.HEIC Suebert2, TimS and Fergal 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaky Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Down by me we have mostly brow anoles. When I first moved here there were two big ones that had they’re territory One alongside the house who’d go from the vines to the AC, the other in the front to the right of the garage The one by the garage was a stud, he was always ****ing. Called him stumpy because he dropped his tail. One day another stump tail showed up, just a tad bigger. Faced off one day on the walk, a lot of posturing and circling before they went at it. Got around thirteen minutes or so, the new guy one and took over the corner by the garage while stumpy hung out by my front door If you are ugly you are ugly. Stop talking about inner beauty because we don't walk around with X-rays. --- Robert Mugabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dena Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 I have a blue tailed skink around the back deck that drives the dog nuts It can squeeze into cracks the dog can't get a tongue or tooth into.

Me either...and I spent thousands of hours a kid flipping rocks, boards, shingles and logs - salamanders and newts....that's what we have locally...zero lizards. Plenty of snakes and turtles - zero lizards Scallywag 1 Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere.

Brother Brian Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 If you think that's something you should see cockroaches fight "You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end -- which you can never afford to loose -- with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they may be .."

Joe Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 (edited) The weirdest thing I ever saw was lizards on Long Island. I grew up there. Never saw a one. Then I bought a house in Bellport a number of years ago. I saw something out of the corner of my eye. Eventually I got a close enough to see one. Apparently sometime in the early 80's a load of Italian wall lizards destined for a pet store fell off the back of a truck near the LIRR. Now they're everywhere within a 1/4 mile of the track, from Queens to Riverhead. Edited June 6 by Joe Scallywag 1 I am what I am. Someone has to be...

Ive seen plenty of them just not in Monmouth county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
