Isn't that a poisonous one?

My unit is full of skinks (small lizards). I had one that slept on my spare pr of thongs (flipflops) for a month.

No. They aren't poisonous or venomous. I catch them a lot to hold them and "tame" them. They usually go to sleep right on my finger or hand

You will find that these guys originated on Orion and are Aliens taking over our world. I always love how Aliens start with Americans.

That’s a Blue-tailed Skink, not a racerunner.
