what is this

[whoty]

Poor lil guy/girl. I think the cats got to him. I think he is very nice though. I like his red head.

Skink. Can you move him somewhere safe, just in case?

Looks like this one from NC Herps page (Broadhead Skink)....... http://www.herpsofnc.org/herps_of_NC/lizards/Eumlat/Eum_lat.html

Yeah,I did. I took him across the street to a big field. I guess he should be ok there. No cats at least.

Yep,thats exactly what he look like. Last week I ran across this snake looking thing. I don't think it was a snake because it moved to strange. But,it didn't have any legs.

Whoty, aren't you from here? I see those glass lizards all the time. Mostly DOR. If you handle one, be careful- they break easily. But they are cool to hold- they have a much more rigid skeleton than a snake and I believe they still have a pelvis and shoulder girdle.

I think that's a male five lined skink.
Broadhead skinks grow large (about a foot in total length).
Five lined are usually less than six inches.
That one has its adult coloration, like this one that I found in Kentucy a few years ago.

This is what it is.
I saw several of these in Edisto SC last year, and took some pictures of
them and the females. The lady that does the reptile shows at the
Serpentarium told me they were male, five lined Skinks. She said they were
all over the place down there.
