I use to catch them all the time when I lived in Cali, im no expert either, but it looks as if the southern is a more colorful cousin.

Wow that's more than I thought there were (in PA). What, 5 lined skinks for sure. Maybe eastern fence lizard. And invasives...I think both wall & ruins lacerta are established in PA.

The Natives:
Five-Lined Skink
Coal Skink
Broad Headed Skink
Eastern Fence Lizard

Yes I believe there might still be a population of Italian Wall Lizards scattered around in the Philly area. But from what I've heard no one has seen any babies in a long time. There might not be enough to keep the population going.
