Notes
This dude was clinging on to our pool tiles in the shade, it's tail just casually sitting in the water. Its body is appx 2", tail is appx 3" in length, a beautiful bright sky blue color. Body is appx 5/8" in width around the midsection. We believe it was trying to remedy having had to walk on the scorching cement and rock (it's 108° currently, highs have been 110-113° the last 5 days, so it's extremely difficult to walk on the ground unprotected). We got it some shade, clean water, and a private pool to rest its toes and cool off. Enjoy!
