SKINK HOUSES

A while ago, Doug made two "houses" for Bobby and Blue.  Bobby now sleeps indoors and Blue often sleeps on the two seat cane settee in the porch so Doug decided to turn them into houses for the many skinks we have here.

He put lengths of bamboo in one and old pieces of concrete in the other.  I hope they like them.



There are lots of skinks particularly in Kim's old run.  The skinks are far to quick for me to get a photo.

The orchard stall has not been at the market lately so we have been buying peaches, nectarines and pears at the supermarket.  They have all been good and we have just eaten a particularly sweet large nectarine between us.

  1. There are loads of skinks here, sometimes unfortunately the cat brings them inside.

    1. That is one of the reasons for the skink house, to give them somewhere safe.

  2. I love skinks, but not seen one for ages. Hope your houses work.

    Your talk of stone fruit has me pining for summer a bit.

    1. Our own peaches should be ready in a few days (fingers crossed) the the work of stewing and freezing begins.
