I remember when I was a kid me and my friends would hunt skinks all the time. We'd just keep them as pets for a couple days and release them back where we found them. But damn, if you even started chasing one they'd drop their tail at the drop of a hat.... er, I mean tail. We need to change that expression to "at the drop of a tail" now that I think of it.



Now skink there's something else I wanted to talk to you about. I was just thinking that.... ah, god damnit he dropped his tail and ran off!
