my dad couldn't catch any, from the time he was about 10 - 18 but then when he was cutting grass he saw the skink running into our yard so he finnally caught one.[by the way it tried to bite my dad and he threw it onto the window, then it tried to bite the camera strap and haley threw it onto the ground,and it ran into a hole.]
