Ocellated integrated

Eventually, after a couple of uncomfortable weeks of hiding here and there, our skink found its way around my garden, and identified what seems to be its new micro-habitat of choice. Clearly happier, it now moves faster and more frequently. It also enjoys sliding its tongue out and back in, now and then, in a very reptilesque way. It's cute...

But what really astonished me is that, underneath one of those pitch black rocks, I found a newborn skink laying low and waiting. I cannot be sure that it's the offspring of our friend, but if it is... then wow! This guy's been busier than I thought (and where's the missus hiding, by the way?).

Anyway, it seems that naming season is open. Any pitches?
