Meet the wedge snouted skink a true desert specialist! 🏜️🦎 With a streamlined body, reduced limbs, and a shovel-like snout, this skink is built for “sand swimming.” It glides through loose dunes to escape predators and extreme heat, spending much of its life beneath the surface. Adapted for survival in harsh desert environments, it’s a perfect example of how evolution shapes reptiles to thrive where few others can. . . . #reptiles #howto #herpetology | LLLReptile & Supply
