AND BLUE TONGUE LIZARDS ARE AUSSIE LIZARDS THEY ONLY LIVE IN AUSTRALIA

No, they have slightly ridged jaws, but no teeth. They can still bite pretty hard so don't underestimate them. Hope I helped ;D

Try to have a buddy with you that can help you trap it, and make sure there is no bundle of sticks around , because they will try to get under these to escape. Good Luck !

They can live for up to 10 years in captivity.

Actually, they are there because of an adequate food supply of insects. Catch them and take them outside. You might explore the outer parameters of your home to see if there is a way that they are getting into the house.

The Blue tongued lizard uses its blue tongue as a defence mechanism. When threatened, it faces its attacker, flattens its body and opens its jaws wide, hissing loudly, and exposing its blue tongue against its pink mouth. This display is often enough to ward off would-be predators such as dogs.

Through their nose because I have a blue tongue and when his nose gets wet, he sneeze/snorts to get rid of the water.

they eat about two times a day, if you see them looking around alot then that meens there looking for something to eat.

no they are not

yes of course all skinks and lizards need water but some skinks and lizards such as the frilly dragon get there fluid from the food they eat as they are unable to get any water because they live in harsh dry places were food and water may be low

Skinks normally eat insects and anything that can fit in its mouth

There are four types of venomous snakes that live in Iowa. However, you are not likely to encounter any of them. They are the Timber Rattlesnake, Prairie Rattlesnake, Massasauga Rattlesnake and Copperhead.

No type of skink is dangerous to a cat. The Blue-Tailed Skink is native to Australia's Christmas Island. Even if it was harmful, don't worry unless you live there. If you are referring to a young skink of the Pleistiodon genus, these are undoubtedly harmless.

Yes, desert lizards can climb.

To catch a skink, you need patience and practice. They are very quick and hard to catch, so its a good question to ask. Try setting up a trap that won't hurt it. If your trap works, and you have caught a skink, good work!

I have a pet skink and I get all the information about looking after him properly from the site posted in the related links.

For those who think that they are pests, and that killing them is the best, please consider that animals and insects have lives that are as valuable to them as yours is to you.

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

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)

Yes. It is legal. You just need to have papers filled out.

It depends on the species. e.g a common garden skink from Australia the females have an orange belly and the males have a light-grey/silver belly

No, they are not, however they bite but it does not hurt because they have small teeth but it only feels like a pinch but no, they are not poisonous. plus, right now for a little laugh i had a skink under my refridgeorator and we had to pull it out and i had to carry it outside! lol

Yes they are easy to take care of and a fun pet for younger ones. Just feed them the correct diet or they will get scoliosis.

No...newts and salamanders are both amphibians (like frogs); however, newts are a little bigger than the common salamander. Also, newts are more of a water amphibian while salamanders tend to prefer moist areas like under logs and such.
