Drop-tail skinks eat fruits and vegetables, but vegetables have to be cooked before they will eat them. The drop-tail skink is a small common skink often seen in suburban gardens in Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane in Australia.
Skinks eat other skinks. Big Skinks eat the skinks that are smaller then the bigger skinks. They drink milk from cows as well. There main thing they eat is snails. How skinks catch snails: They first jump on the snail and stomp ot it to make it crushed. (they prefer snails crushed)
Skinks
Australian skinks have a varied diet. Some of the things the skinks eat are moths, flies, caterpillars, and small insects.
yes, but loses it's markings.
Skinks can indeed eat banana skins. Though this is a possibility it is not very likely that a skink will eat a banana skin.
yes
The short answer is 'No, there are no lizards at allthat have the ability to 'put it's tail in you and poison you'. There are, however a lot of folk tales about such things.Some Skinks ( Eumectes spp ) are wrongly thought to be able to 'sting' with their tail...in some areas they even have the name of 'Scorpion' or 'Scorpion Lizard'.As long as we're covering this subject, it may be of interest to point out that some of these same Skinks have a bright blue tail as juveniles. House cats frequentlytry to catch Skinks. It has been reported that cats who eat the juveniles with the blue tails become quite ill...and may even die. There is therefore perhaps some basis in fact for the notion that these lizards are poisonous to eat when they are juveniles. An adult Broad Head Skink measures 12-13 inches and can give you a pretty painful nip if you catch it, but there is no venom in it's bite....or it's tail ;)
No - it's a defence mechanism. They drop their tails to escape being captured (or eaten). Skinks do not reproduce asexually.
It depends on the size.
