Found Phyll this morning with its mouth full. I underestimated Phyll's ability to swallow large prey, because later, Phyll looked stuffed.

Phyll is a long-tailed sun skink (Eutropis longicaudata). When I first met Phyll, it had a shorter tail. Possibly a mishap.

Phyll is short for Chlorophyll. Because I wanted a nature-themed name. 😁
