Eggs
The Common Garden Skink is oviparous and lays small, white eggs between summer and mid-autumn. The female usually lays about six eggs, often in communal clutches that may contain as many as 250 eggs altogether, usually under a cluster of rocks to keep them safe from predators. The eggs hatch in a matter of weeks after they are laid.

Famous quotes containing the word eggs:
“One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called weasel words. When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a weasel word after another there is nothing left of the other.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (18581919)
