My nephew found this little guy in my yard while we were tearing down an old chicken coop. I had to look it up and found it is a threatened species, so I released him.

However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!

What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!

Oh how nice. Is that some type sand skink?

I know that's a general term but here in S.Florida skinks that look like that are protected however I have only seen them on sites never in real life.

Yes, well actually it was a mole skink. We also have seen sand skinks here. I had to look those up as well, cause I had never seen one before. I also found some Worm snakes, which are not protected but rarely seen, due to their subterranean lifestyle.
