An adorable couple at Armand Bayou, a male skink with a fiery red head and his lovely wifey flaunting a blue tail.

Spotted the cutest couple on a stump today! 😍 This vibrant male Southeastern Five-lined Skink, with his bright red head, is hanging out with his lady love, sporting a stunning blue tail. These colorful cuties are a breeding pair, and soon mama skink will be guarding her eggs for up to 6 weeks! Talk about dedication!
