Yes they do bite. In fact, they bite nearly every time they are handled. While they do bite, their teeth are too small to penetrate human flesh. I have handled many of them and I encourage them to bite me at first to show people who have never seem them that they are not dangerous. Their bite feels like a very light pinch. In my opinion, it is not even remotely painful. Even if they could pierce the skin, they are not poisonous. If you see one you should surely keep it around. Don't be afraid, for he is your friend. He eats those pesky insects that annoy us all. If you want to pick up and hold this little creature, you will first have to catch it, as it is very quick. Grab it gently in between it's front and rear legs, near it's abdomen. If you attempt to grab its tail, it will simply disconnect it and attempt to flee. After handling carefully, please place this friendly reptile back in its natural habitat. If you must keep one in captivity, feed it live insects and give it water in a shallow, non-metal bowl.

What kind of lizard is black with thin white stripes?
The snake falls into the King snake family. California Kingsnake; Black Kingsnake; Eastern Kingsnake; Common King Snake; Desert Kingsnake; Florida Kingsnake; Black Desert Kingsnake; Speckled Kingsnake Reported from this web site. The Kingsnake received its name because it often eats other snakes. It is famous for eating Rattlesnakes. When a hungry Kingsnake finds a Rattlesnake, it will bite the Rattlesnake behind the head and coil itself around the body. The Kingsnake is nearly immune to Rattlesnake venom and does not worry about being bitten. Like a Boa Constrictor, the Kingsnake tightens the coils around the Rattlesnake and suffocates it. Sometimes the Kingsnake will eat the Rattlesnake before it is dead.

It is very possible that your turtle could give your baby skink a fatal bite. Or they may get along perfectly fine, it is a chance thing. Personally, I wouldn't chance some thing happening.
