This spotted galliwasp is one of the cooler skinks I have seen in collections. Indigenous exclusively to the Malpelo island of Columbia, this lizard is a strict carnivore. I just read on wikipedia that Malpelo island is void of trees, and feeds on crabs and seabirds, as well as guano! That's pretty interesting I thought!
Again, special thanks to Steve Cemelli of www.leapingleachies.com for allowing me to photograph his collection. It's sometimes not easy to get photos of 52 alternate species. Twice none the less.
