ID this wild lizard/salamander/camelion/whatever it is....

I think it's a Northern Prairie Skink, E. septentrionalis septentrionalis because it has a middorsal stripe unlike the Southern Prairie Skink.

I'm just wondering what this skink was doing underground...

thats not an amphibian. common, people, komodo dragons, beaded lizzards, gila monster are the only lizards that are venomous, and a komodo doesnt even have venom. if you cant tell the difference between a reptile and an amphibian then you have no buisness taking something out of the wild. seriously.

I did not take it out of the wild smart ***, it was given to me. Read the original post. As I said, I know nothing about reptiles or amphibians, aside from aquatic turtles, and only wanted to know if this was a good starter pet for a newbie. I decided it was not and returned it to the wild the 17th! Damn, I hate people that go off flaming after only semi-reading 1 or 2 posts...

Yeah, I have been wondering that too. He said he hit a cavern about a foot wide and a few inches tall about 5-6 foot deep, and this skink came crawling out, any one have any theories???

Its 100% normal many skinks are fossorial and very active diggers But if you want to see some real digging action get yourself a sand fish Thouse are really cute
