Lizard mating dance - Speckled Rock Skink (Trachylepis punctatissima) Scincidae

These two little lizards were doing their mating dance....at least, he was.
He kept the tip of his tail in an upright position the whole time.
The female would keep on turning around while he circled her.
This kept on for at least half an hour until something scared them off and they both disappeared under some old equipment we have in the yard.
