You rock! ...Thank you for all your wonderful help! You rock! And being with you makes even hard work fun!<br /><br />With the help of my trusty Conant's field guide, I have identified our skink. Great Plains Skink (Eumeces obsoletus) Looks like ours was not even a particularly large one, as they get up to 13 3/4" long! Nonetheless, this was the largest skink I've ever caught. I thought this part was interesting... "Secretive; seldom seen except when rock slabs or other places of concealment are overturned. Can inflict a painful bite." Yep, I overturned his place of concealment. :-)<br /><br />Malisa, did you know that the Yellowhammer is the Alabama state bird? I didn't even know what a yellowhammer was until I asked someone at the Rotan Dairy Queen. We sometimes stay on I-20 through Merkel and head north on 70 out of Sweetwater. But most often we head north on 277 out of Abilene and then take 180 into Roby.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505971079477231658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7831748294655796355.post-91858597389751270252009-04-21T06:23:00.000-05:002009-04-21T06:23:00.000-05:00How differant that west Texas dirt is from our sou...How differant that west Texas dirt is from our southern Mo. variety. For one thing, you would have to use dynamite to get a hole that deep in my back yard. We would love it if you could come to our shop. We're not very far from Eureka Spgs. Just let me know & I'll show you around.

I was raised about two hours from there in Olney.
