I so recognise this 'story'!! Tabby especially likes to bring in skinks (or geckoes?) and play with them. Lots of rescue missions. Sometimes the little skink seems quite dead - no movement - then put it down in the undergrowth and watch for a while and the little heart starts to beat. Wonderful moment!
I especially like that first photo - must have taken a bit of getting that one. Whose paw???
The paw photo is my favourite too. Scruff was very gentle.
R.Scruff's full name is Rainbow Scruffles. We couldnt agree on a name so we used both. :) She has turned out to be a great wee hunter. Endless lizards and birds are brought in.

Actually, love all the photos. Poor little tail-less one...
R.Scruff :)
So it's a skink? I just call them lizards. I thought maybe it was pregnant, it seemed very fat.
Scruff kept losing it! Amber and I were holding hands and squealing hehe. But I still managed to take pics! We caught it in her lunchbox in the end.
I remember having pet ones and feeding them jam off my finger. Their little tongues and teeth tickled. :)
Great gentle authority by the scruff ! Good shot. :)

You're right - it could be pregnant Niki!
Gosh, I didn't realise they give birth to live babies- 6-9 of them! Scruff had it in her mouth, but even then there were no injuries.
All of the photos are great but I love the first one the best.
Mmmmm----lizard sandwich in the lunchbox---amazing photography---R. Scruff---curious to know what the R. stands for---Ruthless?
