No, blue-tailed skinks are not endangered, but blue-tailed mole skinks are. These are a limited area variety, and are not the common blue-tailed skink that seem to be everywhere here around my house in Missouri.
Yes, all skinks are a type of lizard.
yes they do
no, and they dont bite, either.
This question cannot be answered, because no species of skink was identified. Skinks are a large family of lizards, and range from tiny forest-floor dwelling insectivores to large tree-dwelling herbivores, and everything in between. Popular pet skinks include fire skinks (insectivores), blue-tongued skinks (omnivores), and monkey-tailed skinks (herbivores).
In Southern states. Everywhere warm.
Thats what I want to kno! Do they?
No, they are not, although many people seem to think these lizards are dangerous. The most common skinks in South Carolina are the blue-tailed, five-lined, and broadhead skinks. Many people mistakenly call them "scorpions," and believe their sting is venomous, but herpetologists say that is not true.
No, they are not venomous. In fact, they make very good pets.
