Ocellated Skink

Also, I found a Ocellated Skink, which we named Claw, after her strength when scratching people.

The Ocellated Skink is a skilled Digger of tunnels and spends a good part of her life underground. Generally you can find her under the stones, at fresh. But she is very fast to hide herself under ground.

Ocellated Skinks eat mostly insects, including: Crickets, Grasshoppers, Beetles, and Caterpillars. They also eat Spiders, Earthworms, Snails, Slugs, other Lizards, and small Mice.

Their life span is of only around 6 years.
