Found these "presents" left on my garage floor. Any idea who left them? (Quarter shown for size reference:D) They are all black with a white tip.

I would say it is a pretty good size rodent.

Skink? You mean a snipe? Or a jackalope? (Although the smaller size would indicate a juvenile jackalope.)

Definitely a skink. I've got one or two living in my garage, haven't figured out how to get rid of them. There are several more around the yard as well.

I like them. I saw one catch and eat a palmetto bug that was half his size! Now skinks are very welcome in my backyard.

skink poop. :funn: Now I've seen it all on sowal.com :floor: Who knew.

Now, can someone tell us why it gets white on the end??

They are welcome at my house for the same reason. :biggrin: plus the babies look so cute with the bright blue tails.

My cat thinks those bright blue tails are the perfect gift for any occasion...

Hope no one stepped on it barefooted!:floor: I am so bad about walking into our garage barefooted, always thinking about the fact that something could be in there that wouldn't be nice to step on, but it rarely stops me from doing it. Now.... I might change my mind.

Yuck, yuck and yuck. We had a legless lizard in our front yard a few months ago. Our neighbor said it was a "skank" but I was later corrected on there that it was a "skink." Actually, it was neither, as it looked like a snake but wasn't. http://kaweahoaks.com/html/lizard_legless.htm

you guys are so funny! I've seen several skinks in our yard, so it probably is one. I'm relieved actually - I like lizards. Rodents & snakes are another story.

Thanks :)

Why would you want to get rid of them? They eat bugs and spiders. Sweep up the poo when you need to and enjoy nature's pest control service!

I don't want them in the garage. Out in the yard is fine. Poo and all. One of them got stuck in the coils of my freezer and, uh, fried. So the way I see it, my garage is a dangerous environment for them. Not to mention the poo, which sticks to the floor. Need a scraper rather than a broom.

I wish they'd eat red ants. My yard is full of 'em.
