This adorable little guy/gal has taken up residence in an empty tote outside our front door and I was thinking it was a skink, but am having trouble identifying which one. The markings most look like a San Francisco alligator lizard, but I think the tail is too long and maybe the head a bit off. Anyhow, I figured one of you might know :) Any guesses? I'm in the Santa Cruz mountains in california. I also caught a cute little Gilbert's skink chillin' on my couch not too long ago. So adorable :heart:

Here is our new outdoor housemate :) Last night when I peeked in the tote to check on him/her, he/she was curled up asleep. Since it had been a few days since we noticed it in the tote, I was concerned that it might be stuck and put a stick in there and a water dish just in case. image.jpg image.jpg
