Slinky Skink

Skinks and green anoles come uninvited into our screen porch. We have so many on the  property that I guess it is inevitable. B is very handy with a dip net and can  usually scoop them up. I am more handy as a door opener. In the first picture, this little guy was enjoying a sip of water from a tiny puddle on a hot, hot day.

It looks like its new tail is almost complete. Will humans ever have such ability to regrow lost parts?
