Cohabitation

Hey everyone, so normally I do not condone keeping different species in the same cage, but apparently I have been doing it for the past few months, as many of you know, I keep my leopard geckos in a planted bioactive cage, The plants I used were from my mother's garden and from a plant store. Everything in the cage is completely natural except for the water bowl. I can only assume that this guy hitched a ride in a plant or in a pile of leaves, I totally understand the potential risks but I'm going to leave him in the cage, he's less than 3 inches long About 7.5 cm. My geckos could easily eat him but they never have, I expect that he will be eaten in the next few months but I really don't know lol here's a picture of him, he's on the right side of the bowl.

Sorry my bad, it's a skink of some type, I can't figure out the exact species but I think it's a ground skink, scincella lateralis

Here's a few more pictures, he's on the log, the geckos are sleeping in the back ground.

Ikr lol its neat, but weird, years ago I caught a skink that was almost identical to this guy, regrown tail, missing part of the back foot, same pattern, etc. I compared a picture and he may be the same guy lol. I let him go bit he was very hadleable, this guy is fearless and confident . I hope it's the same guy lol
