I noticed this one shed the same time as Alex, so I brought her outside too. This is the lightest colored eastern I have. She looks even lighter right after shedding.

OOohh what a beautiful skink! I always have admired the Eastern and their dark marking near the eye. Ever since I read James Wilson's article on Reptiles magazine. I really like the orange eyes as well.

I love the last pic. How did you manage to get such a great tongue shot?

I think the camera quailty has something to do with it. I know that a camera can take multiple shots in seconds. They are great pictures.

Rapid shot mode is awesome :D I believe I have recommended it to a few people in the past, which has resulted in some great tongue shots from them. It is available in pretty much all digital cameras nowadays, although you may have to dig through the settings and modes to find it~
