Five-lined Fever I caught this male five-lined skink (Eumeces fasciatus) shortly after arriving at the resort. A colony of skinks lived in our front yard. Soon everyone was trying their hand at skink catching. 
| Group Effort Carly Kalish was intent on catching a five-lined skink, she even enlisted the help of her friends and biology teacher...all to no avail (let's face it, there can only be one "Skink Master").

Ring Thing
| The first snake I found was this baby Ringneck (Diadophis punctatus). It was quite tiny. 
Cavescape
| There were many scenic areas, both inside and outside the caves. 
Underground Lake
| Some of the underground rock formations, waterways and tunnels were truly inspiring.
