SOUTHERN FLORIDA CORUCIA RESEARCH CENTER (SFCRC)

Location: LEE/1.

Hello,

If I have the oppportunity to catch any, I'll let you know.

For what it is worth, I share a story on 5-lines and Corucia.

In the rare coldest days in a S. Florida winter, All SFCRC LEE/1 Corucia are moved into a garage-like indoor setting. At one time, there were 5-lines established inside which were thriving on renegade Palmettos. Apparently, a couple of 5-lines 'smelled skink' and entered somehow enclosure C99-2. I know this because in a upper platform were 2 5-lined tails. One of the 2 adult Corucia became territorial and attacked to drive them off. At this time, this pair had 2 juvenile Corucia with them.

Sincerely,
Brian
SFCRC
