Hey everyone,

This is very random but I thought I'd share anyway. Sometimes people criticize "naturists" who spend all day on the computer, being that a computer is not very natural. When I'm on my laptop at my parents' house, though, I have a view of the lovely side yard. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed that a very beautiful spiney lizard has been living back here on the paver-stone patio.He generally goes to the hose that's been laying there for months to get some water, then he does that throat thing (looking for mates) and then he generally dashes through the fallen leaves in search of food. He's a big guy, between 9 and 11 inches long from head to tip of tail. He's dark earth colored with black stripes all the way down the back. He has rigid spines all over his body. He's amazing. I almost want to go catch him so I could get a better look but I think he's happier out there. So to anyone who says a true naturist cannot experience nature while on the computer, I beg to differ http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

There is a large skink that lives under my deck out back. He comes out to hunt and sun himself fairly often. He's also around nine inches long and is very beautiful.

For those of you don't know what a skink is.. they are a sleek, very fast lizard (almost like a snake with legs). Some are plain brown with black stripes, but many have metallic blue-green shimmering scales on their tail and hind quarters, which is the type I have here.

Here's a photo of one I found on Google:
