How bout N TX ? Alpine fleurs pokin through the snow yet
Hi There Hal, Nice photos, hate to have to CORRECT you, but that awesome little lizard you showed is NOT a skink, though skinks certainly do occur in your part of Central TX., he's a Fence lizard, also called a Fence Swift, by alotta herp(reptile) people, like myself. As far as the exact type of Fence lizard, hes probably a Western Fence Swift in the reptile books. Thought you should know, Hooray for Spring now Sprung! John in KS 
Trav, did you not get the memo ?
