Yes..five lined skinks are very rare in the state of Connecticut but populations are present.
No, they are not, however they bite but it does not hurt because they have small teeth but it only feels like a pinch but no, they are not poisonous. plus, right now for a little laugh i had a skink under my refridgeorator and we had to pull it out and i had to carry it outside! lol
Different species do not usually interbreed successfully.
When talking about common five lined skinks; yes.
yes they do. they also eat crickets and silk worms
with good care about 3-4 yrs.I have a skink and am well experienced.
Yes. Probably a few different varieties. Like Fence Lizards, 5-lined skinks, and broadhead skinks. I live about an hour east of you (Ashland) and saw a 5-lined skink this morning. This is a great website that has distribution maps you can check! http://faculty.maryvillecollege.edu/wbcash/GSMNPReptiles.htmhttp://www.answers.com/topic/five-lined-skink
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.
The five lined lizard is not venomous.
you cant exactly tell when they arn't fully grown, but once they are adults the male will turn brownish black colored all over the body and the female will stay the same (blue tail, stripes, etc.)
Three species of lizards are found in MN. The common five-lined skink The prairie skink The six-lined racerunner. Prairie skinks and six-lined racerunners are not found in the area around Braham, according to range maps. Five-lined skinks are found throughout the State. It is rather unlikely that you will find them within the limits of any town or city, but you may find them in a nearby nature preserve, prairie, park, or other wild area. Rice Creek SWMA would be a good place to search. Keep in mind that these small, fast, alert lizards have excellent eyesight and hearing, and you will need to be on top of your game to ever see one.
Is this the reptile you are asking about? I have a picture of one that was taken in Virginia near the North Carolina border. It is a Five Lined Skink. The mature skinks have a red head and olive colored body during the mating season but otherwise are dark with five stripes running the length of their bodies. Did this help?
