Anthony Horton<p>I spotted lizards in the garden during a break in the rain so I got my Proper Camera and Long Lens out and did a photo shoot session with the 3-legged water skink, who was a very obliging model.</p><p>Its tail continues to regrow, but seems to be coming in with a bit of a kink at the transition. In lizards that can drop and regrow their tail the regrown tails always do look different, often having different colouration and lacking pattern, and they are usually shorter and stubbier than the original.</p><p>It seems like most of the adult water skinks that I see have a regrown tail. Being a medium sized lizard in a world full of birds and cats can be tough.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/LizardPosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LizardPosting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SkinksOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SkinksOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Skink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Skink</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LizardsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LizardsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Lizard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lizard</span></a></p>
