Me, leaving kitchen, seeing movement at floor level: *girly shriek*
Dave: You okay?
Me: ... Wait, yes. I thought it was a cockroach, but it's a skink. *crouches* Come here, sweetheart, houses aren't for you, let me take you outside...

It was about an inch long, velvety soft to touch oh-so-carefully, and is now in the back garden.

If it had been a cockroach, I would have terminated it with extreme prejudice. But I like skinks. And so, it lives.

I had to look up skinks, and promptly squeed at the cuteness. I love lizards and snakes, and a itsy teeny skink does sound adorable.

I'm glad you got the sweetheart safely to the garden.

I first read that as "I thought it was a cockroach, but it's a sink. *crouches* Come here, sweetheart, houses aren't for you, let me take you outside..." and had a very surreal mental image :D
