Species Account:
Spooked me while standing in front of his wash-out hole. He seemed pretty brave for just a couple feet from my head. I screamed and he casually backed into his hole. He was mostly fully out besides his tail. His orange was pretty bright so I'm guessing a male but I'm new to seeing them in person.
