What kind of lizard is black with a blue tail found all over my yard in the North Carolina mountains?
My 8 year old son keeps finding these lizards in the yard in tall grass and sometimes under rocks. What are they?
The lizard is defitnetly a
Five-lined Skink
(Eumeces fasciatus)
Description: 5-8.5 in. (12.5-21.5 cm) As their name implies, five-lined skinks have five light lines that run down their back and tails. While female skinks usually retain this pattern throughout life, adult males often become nearly uniform brown or olive in coloration with orange-red coloration on their jaws during the spring breeding season. Young five-lined skinks have five white or yellowish stripes on a black ground color and a bright blue tail. Five-lined skinks can be distinguished from the southeastern five-lined skinks by a row of enlarged scales under the tail and from broadhead skinks by smaller size and four labial scales instead of five.
Range/Habitat: The five-lined skink occurs throughout North Carolina except for the Outer Banks. They can be found in almost any habitat but are most abundant in areas with abundant rotting stumps and logs and in swamps and along river margins.
Habits: Five-lined skinks are primarily terrestrial but often climbs trees, especially dead and decaying snags where insects are abundant. They are active year-round in warm weather.
Reproduction: Five-lined skinks generally mates in spring and lay 6 to 10 eggs in nests which are usually in rotten stumps or logs, sawdust piles, or beneath sheltering objects.
Prey: Five-lined skinks eat various arthropods including spiders, roaches, crickets, grasshoppers, and beetle larvae.
Remarks: Skinks, particularly young with blue tails, are often called "scorpions" and are thought to have a poisonous sting. This myth is false, and although a large skink can deliver a powerful nip, no lizards in the Southeastern United States are dangerous to humans.
