The Southeastern Five-Lined Skink (Plestiodon inexpectatus) typically weighs between 20 to 50 grams. Their weight can vary based on factors such as age, diet, and environmental conditions. These skinks are small lizards known for their distinctive blue tails and five longitudinal stripes.
yes, a skink is a lizard and a lizard is a reptile
They live for 5-7 years.
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.)
they live in the dense rainforest's of north America I think
The female skink has a orany yellow colur belly and males have a grey or silver belly
Yes, of course they do. The five lined Skink is just one.
In Florida, the most common species of skink is the Eastern Fence Lizard (Sceloporus undulatus), but the Five-lined Skink (Plestiodon fasciatus) and the Florida Scrub Lizard (Sceloporus woodi) are also present. The Five-lined Skink is easily recognizable by its five distinct stripes running down its body. These skinks are typically found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and urban areas.

It would probably be the Common Five-Lined Skink, most photos look like what you are describing. The blue tail thing is only for the younger ones. It is fully brown for the adult. How long is it?
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
