Lizard on my deck.

This minute lizard was on my deck today. It is a skink. It was a baby skink. It was about 5 cm long. I had a lot of trouble getting a picture of it.
Find something in your house that is 5 cm long so you can see how small it was.
Minute means "very small." In English we have another word - minute- which is spelled the same but is to do with time , as in hours  and minutes.
