Shai-Hulud is feeling social today. Resting with his head out isn't as rare as it used to be, but still pretty uncommon. He flicks his tongue at me if I sit and talk to him.
@weirdfizz is that a Schneider's skink?

@redenigma He's an African sand boa. That's why I pay attention when he feels like sticking his head out of the sand...he spends most of his time completely buried in it!
@redenigma I went to look this type of skink up because I've never heard of them. It's interesting that they come from the same area and look similar! I can see how one could easily be mistaken for the other in the wild if somebody can't get a good look at them.
@weirdfizz so, he's from the same area as Schneider's skinks. they also like to burrow
