Description

The one to the left is a mature male , I am not sure what the one on the right is, Since I never did get a chance to see its tail The Five-lined Skink is a common visitor to rock gardens, patios, and woodsheds. It is quite agile and difficult to catch. The juvenile's bright blue tail is an anti-predator device. It breaks off easily and twitches for a period of time. This draws the predator's attention to the tail and often allows the skink to escape an attacking bird, snake, or larger lizard. The tail then grows back. all comments are welcome thank you for viewing have a great day
