Blue tail skink

This one let me get close enough for a picture at Fortress wall. Fast little buggers.If you grab thier tail it comes off and flops around while the skink gets away.Maybe they grow a new one? not sure.

I know I have seen the fence lizards without thier tail. I suspect all the snakes feed on the lizards and mice at the cliff. On two occasions I saw snakes fall off the cliff. The lizards climb anything like pros.
