COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

We have Blue Tailed Skinks here in Maryland. Was wondering what the difference is between a skink and an anole....but I think all in the same Family of ground/tree dwelling lizards.

Does a Blue Tailed Skink have a Blue Tail?

 

[EllieMay]

Eh, I've kind of been in a little bit of a rut lately.

Sounds like you need to talk.. tell us about it and maybe that will help.

 

[CarolM]

Or.. “Tort Tweets”

Okay so far we have :
Tort People
Naughty Torts
Turtle Strangers
Tort Tweets.

Anybody else want to put a name in the Hat for draw? And Mark are you going to play the drums?

 

[CarolM]

Hi all, just stopping in for some comfort from my tort peers.

Hi ya!

How are you doing?

 

[CarolM]

Eh, I've kind of been in a little bit of a rut lately.

Why? What has happened? And the best way to get out of a rut is to step out of it and carry on walking.

Does a Blue Tailed Skink have a Blue Tail?

I think the males have blue stripe. females are brown..( hope I’m thinking of the right ones)

I can give you a few notes on the saxophone... I could also provide some decent backup singing

Thanks for the kind words. Just really feeling the blues, looking around for a new job, all that kind of thing...

Looks like I had the male/female thing backwards

The coloration on these lizards undergoes changes as they mature into adults. In case of females, the contrast of the body color decreases, and the tail turns from bright blue to grayish blue. In the case of males, the vertical stripes fade away leaving a brownish body and tail color.

Yesterday my brother and I crashed his old Toyota truck.
We're ok.

Job hunting can be pretty stressful. It’s hard to go out there and sell yourself when you keep taking knocks

Big electronic hug from me

 

[JoesMum]

And I must go to a school governor meeting shortly.

Catch up with you all later

Maybe the weather....change in temps, and seasons.....heading in to the blas of Winter....cold, ice, frozen...

Thanks so much. There haven't been a lot of openings lately and the place I'm at now is starting to get pretty bad.
