Morti-man! (Pics!)

I think its safe to say that everyone here likes looking at pictures of everybody's skinks, so I thought I'd hop the bandwagon and post some pictures of Mortimer, my little baby IJ!
First and foremost, the mortrito. He loves being curled up like this and will chill like that for hours, I personally find it adorable, so its a win win situation.
Mortimer doesn't really understand glass all that well, he understands edges and not to venture off of them, but when set on pure glass his little mind comes to a screeching halt and he freezes. I just set him up there to grab my camera, had to snap a pic, then moved him down onto the carpeting.
I just think skink faces from the front are the cutest things ever! So I had to snap a shot.
And finally, after trying and trying I managed to snap a quick shot of that illusive tongue of his! Granted I cheated and fed him to do so, but its still a tongue shot!
I was lucky enough to even snag two, even though the first is a lot better.
I also think I've reached a really good point with him, he's finally starting to 'see' me (when he'll actually look up when I go to get him out of his cage and the like) and actually approach me without eying me like i'm some sort of predator. I'm really glad about this too, I just gush every time!
