I Want One

Allow me to introduce you to the Red-eyed Crocodile Skink.
Since these guys were recently discovered (mid to late nineties), there isn’t a whole lot that is known about them, but I’ll share a few facts with you here.

• These guys can grow up to ten inches in length, though the average is more like seven.
• They’re pretty shy and choose to play dead as their defense mechanism. 
• Other than geckos, these guys are one of the only lizards that vocalize. Their sound is described as a barking noise when they’re in distress
• Average lifespan is listed at around 6 years
