Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I just saw one of these in the yard when I was picking blackberries. It was big and had the brightest red/orange head. It is called a Broadhead skenk - it's the largest skenk found in SC. Nice, huh?

By the way, this is a picture from Google, not one I took. I didn't get this close.

One that I see a lot around the yard that isn't quite as creepy is the Green Anole. We affectionately called them Recycles because we often see them by the recycling bins. They rangle in color from lime green to brown. When the cats get out on the porch, we also tend to see headless Green Anoles, which is gross.

We haven't had the first snake sighting yet. I'm beginning to wonder if it's still around - usually we've found a snakeskin in the garage by now, but so far, nothing.

You didn't know I was such a nature girl, huh?
