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 they do
no, and they dont bite, either.
When talking about common five lined skinks; yes.
Thats what I want to kno! Do they?
In Southern states. Everywhere warm.
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
skinks and lizards are similar skinks are smaller -----> the shingle back lizard ( gilla monster ) is t a poisonous skink that lives in the australian outback. lizards are larger ----> the only poisonous lizard is the comodo dragon in which its bite transfers bacteria which it uses for its prey other then those to lizards and skinks arent poisonous
No, they are not venomous. In fact, they make very good pets.
To make a trap for a blue-tailed skink, you can use a simple bucket trap. Fill a bucket partially with water and add a few leaves or branches for the skinks to climb on. Place the bucket in an area where you’ve observed skinks, making sure it has a smooth edge to prevent them from escaping. Alternatively, you can use a small container with bait, such as insects, to attract the skinks inside.
