Notes
This hatchling skink was trapped in a cobweb just inside our front door. It is uncertain how long it had been there, but it was partially suspended by its tail. The skink was removed from the web and placed outdoors. However, part of the web remained attached to its tail and it had difficulty running as the web kept getting caught on substrate.
