Default Found a blue tailed skink today.

I found a blue tailed skink outside today, this will add to the leo gecko, green and brown anoles and now the skink for found lizards. I have the skink in a tank now I am wishing to find another gecko soon though can't seem to find them. they are diggers aren't they? I expect to see them when i lift stuff off the ground outside.

I guess to give some body to this thread what kind of lizards or exotics have you found outside? as i am in the states and wondering what all is over the sea. (and dont worry I know I could Google it but whats the fun in that?)

Hardly any species to be found in the wild in the UK mate.
Of course there are the usual native reptiles to the UK
But i know someone who found and decided to keep a corn snake here.
Um. There are alot of scorpions found in certain places in England.

Haven't seen any scorps over here. I really want to find that gecko again though. I really should have snaped a pic of it to make sure it was a leo but it had spots so i am only assuming. anoles are everywhere where but mostly brown, once in a while you find a green one.
