Can you find lizards in braham mn?

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?


What are the small lizards found in the summer in Virginia called?

Most likely a skink of some kind. The ones that I see most often are the common five-lined skinks, which are smooth and often have a bluish tail. If the lizards are brown and rough instead of smooth, they are probably eastern fence lizards.
