Five Lined Skink

Nope but I've caught quite a few over the years. I took these pics over the summer.
Only the juveniles like this one have blue tails. As they age they loose it.
Here's a gravid female I found.
Males have reddish coloring on their head and usually loose their stripes.

Yep! We have 3 native skink species in my state but I've only found this kind so far.

I find them all the time but had no idea any skinks in PA. I actually find them in pond on frogbit or floating leaves than remove them by dirt area.
They are neat as young but IMO the adults are ugly .

They dont stay that way more than 2 yrs tops they become drab as adults just like Vicious fish posted in pics.
