Looks like he's regrowing a leg!
That's a Broadhead Skink. They lack the ability to regenerate limbs, so that looks like a birth defect to me. Or perhaps an injury, but it does look like it has little toes on it.

Skink!
Reptiles look so cool
A picture I took yesterday
I think regrowing a leg is newts, not lizards. They regrow their tails though.
I saw one yesterday at the Elizabethan Gardens in the Outer Banks!
I was like dude that's a fat joint not a lizard.
Then I saw the lizard.
Bet he's high af
he rolled a thicc hitter up too, respect
Dude rolls aome fat joints as well
I've got one too!
I want to be him
I just found two of these in my garage. They'd be cool if they weren't around every time I go to do laundry. They eat cockroaches though so I guess they're still cool.
Red at the ends just like the poison ivy he's re-growing next to.
That's one broad headed skink bro
Poison ivy bruh.
