The skink was very fast. We found him under a trash can at the park. He had been sitting in the sun, but when we came near him he skittered away. We moved the trash can aside, and there he was. I got him under my hand, but he ran between my fingers. Then Dylan grabbed his tail, but he got away. Finally, Bryn trapped him under her hand and he could not get out.
On the way home Bryn carried him because she was afraid he would get away if someone else did. About half way home Bryn started screeching. The lizard was biting her! She held it by its tail, and we were lucky the tail did not come off. We got home in about 5 minutes, and put the lizard in a terrarium in the garage.
I released him about half an hour later under the deck in the backyard.
