Blue tailed skink. Used to catch these guys a couple years ago at my grandparents house but one day they suddenly disappeared from my area and haven’t seen them since.
To post a video you have to upload it to YouTube and then at the top of the reply box where the button is to post a picture to the left of it is a chain looking thing and you insert the link to the YouTube video into there
I think they’re native to Australia actually. I remember chasing after these things thinking I was going faster than light just for the thing to run into a hole or up a wall lol
Ah yes. You are right. There is a different skink in America (just looked it up), the 5 lined skink, in which the juvies have blue tails.
Anoles are fun to catch down In the Carolinas really interesting lizards too because the males have I think it’s called a dewlap and they’re really colorful. I think they’re used to attract females
oh yaaaa! I tried to catch him and he was gone in a sec. I was mostly afraid to kill him by accident so I just stopped chasing him lol
These lizards are surprisingly strong lol I don’t think you could accidentally kill it if you tried unless you had something sharp or blunt and heavy. Once I saw a blue tailed skink at my grandparents house digging in a hole fighting a snake and kill it. The skink was maybe 6” long. And it’s tail was an inch thick almost
