Aunt Mel finds lots of strange things in her yard – arrow heads, strange looking beetles, shot gun shells and broken pieces of kid’s toys to name just a few. Recently she found lots of these little blue things. Do you know what these are?

They were all over the farm. These little blue pieces of something just laying on the ground. Its strange!

Aunt Mel found one at the driveway gate, another on the sidewalk in front of the house.More were found inside the garage.


Even Frank was caught carrying one around in his mouth! What are these strange bright blue, slightly rubbery things? They’re blunt or torn on one end and taper to a pointing tip. Suddenly something slithered nearby and Aunt Mel caught a glimpse of something as it crawled across a rock. The mystery was solved!

A Blue Tailed Skink

LIZARD TAILS – GROSS! The Blue Tail Skink is a common Georgia lizard. Their bright blue tails come off when attacked by predators (Frank). One must have a strong stomach and plenty of disinfectant soap when one lives on a farm.
