Description
This was taken on a day when the temperature was pushing 100F. This Skink would move a few inches then stop and lift his feet off the wood. He would stay in this position for a moment or so then move a few more inches and repeat the process.
I am sure this behavior is a means of avoiding the hot surface of the wood as much as possible. I was sitting in some shade and could keep my feet on the ground, lol.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

great capture...
100! Outrageous! I don't envy your wonderful piece of land and fab house nearly as much when I hear this! Great shot.
Great capture! He looks so funny with his little legs up like that. :)
these guys are so cool. My son captured one the other day; tail missing.
Nice shot.
