stinking skinks

There is a skink that lives in my closet. And I don't like it.

At first, when I'd open the closet door and scream (because I will never get used to seeing a skink climbing around on my clothes), it would run away. Now, it's gotten used to the screaming so it just sits there. I'm not happy about that. I liked the frightened skink better.

Then a couple weeks ago, it came out of the closet and climbed onto my pillow. I screamed at it, but it's just not scared of me anymore. So I kicked the bed. It just sat there. Clif climbed onto the bed and it moved up to the headboard.

It hasn't ventured out of the closet - at least as far as I know - since then. I'm just hoping it doesn't move from the closet to my bed. That would be extremely unpleasant.

Yucky! I got used to geckos, but never to skinks. I didn't mind them when they were outside....but whenever I found one in the house Jaydn and i would try to cacth it or chase it out the door. Maybe he'll leave one day...or maybe you'll become friends. :)Love Jessi
ps- I sent a letter to Maima in care of you. Maybe she already got it. Thank you for giving it to her (or thank you in advance if it hasn't come yet!)

Fun, we've had a lot more mice stuff here lately. This morning I woke up to mouse droppings on the stove. After reading about your skink in the closet I guess I feel lucky that we don't have anything living in our closet. -Mary
