    Extractions: Five-lined Skink Eumeces fasciatus The Five-lined Skink is our most common lizard. They grow up to eight inches long, with males growing slightly larger than females. They are usually black or dark brown, with five light stripes down their backs. Stripes fade as the skink gets older, so adults may look all brown. Male adult Five-lined Skinks often have bright orange jaws during the breeding season. Young skinks have very clear stripes and a bright blue tail. Females may keep a very full bluish-gray tail as they age, but males' tails will turn brown. Mark Moran Five-lined Skinks mate in the Spring and females will dig a nest under a log, stump, or rock. She will lay up to a dozen eggs, which will hatch between June and August, depending on when they were laid. Females will stay with their eggs until they hatch. She will also eat any unhatched eggs. Young Five-lined Skinks are about two inches long when born. These lizards are found in moist woods where there are a lot of logs, stumps, and rockpiles to go along with

    Extractions: Blue-tongued lizards are reptiles There are 6 different kinds of blue-tongued lizards in Australia. Here are 4 of them. Eastern Blue-tongue It can grow as long as your ruler. Pygmy Blue-tongue It's only about 10cm long. Blotched Blue-tongue Like most Blue-tongues it has a pointy tail. Bob-tailed Blue tongue. It has a short stumpy tail. It's also called the Shingleback, the Sleepy Lizard, the Boggi, and the Stumpy-tailed lizard. They are called Blue-tongued Lizards because they have fat blue tongues. Like most lizards, blue-tongues can smell through their nostrils and their tongue. They eat snails, slugs, flowers and fruit. They don't chew their food. They hold and crush it. They have dry scaly skin. Blue-tongues are slow and gentle. They won't bite unless they are attacked or when they are frightened when picked up. The bite might hurt but it is not poisonous. It's best to leave them alone. They won't hurt you. Most Bob-tailed blue-tongues have the same partner all their lives.

    Extractions: - SPECIES SHOWCASE - BLUE-TONGUED SKINKS FACT SHEET Blue-tongued skinks have often been referred to as "Cadillacs of the pet lizard world." Certainly they are one of the most popular pet lizards around today. Their gentle personalities, longevity, attractiveness, and undemanding husbandry add up to great desirability. There is a continuous demand for blue-tongues, despite the fact that virtually all are captive-bred, which renders them somewhat expensive when compared to other lizardsaround $200 for juvenile scincoides , for example. Despite the popularity of b-ts, however, as far as we know, no single authoritative volume exists which discusses how they live and function in their natural habitats and addresses their herpetocultural requirements in detail. To provide a partial remedy for this glaring deficit, we decided to produce a Fact Sheet based upon what we have learned from our own experiences with b-ts, sentiments expressed by long-time b-t keepers, and what we could glean from available literature that appeared trustworthy. As might be expected under such circumstances, several areas of husbandrylike constituents of an ideal diet, for exampleremain controversial. Still,we feel if our general guidelines are adhered to, fairly good results will be obtained. This Fact Sheet is a unique byproduct of the Internet. Beginning as a simple exchange of b-t questions, answers, and anecdotes, it rapidly evolved into a more thorough, meaningful, and (hopefully) significant treatment. No Fact Sheet, however, is truly exhaustive. We have done our best to do justice to our blue-tongued friends, but welcome all sincere additions and revisions as well as personal observations and comments. And we take full responsibility for any errors or defects.

Sekerak and Frank J. Mazzotti Lizards make up one of the most diverse and successful groups of modern reptiles. They occur in an incredible variety of habitats and, through evolution, have undergone physical changes that adapt them to their environment. These adaptations allow different species of lizard to live in mountains, deserts, oceans, and forests. Some withstand the scorching sun along the equator, while others survive the arctic freeze. Their bodies may be adapted to climb trees, glide through the air, dive to the ocean floor, burrow in the soil, or race along the ground. Too often lizards have been overlooked as valuable contributors to the environment. The lizards of south Florida feed mostly on insects and other small invertebrates, making them economically important to man as natural pest controls. More important still is their ecological role as predators and prey. The survival of many larger lizards, birds, mammals, and snakes is dependent on the availability of lizards as food. They are an essential element in the balance of nature.

Family Scincidae Common bluetongue lizard Major skink More information If the bluetongue lizard sticks its tongue out at you and hisses, take heed of the warning. While not venomous, bites are painful. The largest Australian skink is claimed for both the land mullet at 58 cm total length and the common bluetongue at 56 cm total length. The major skink Skinks are the most numerous of lizards with 1300 species in the world and about 300 species in Australia, found in all environments. They tend to be smooth and usually glossy. Most eat insects, some eat other lizards and others eat fruits, flowers, leaves and fungi. This skink is found along the east coast of Queensland to the New South Wales border and in Arnhemland, patterns and colouring varying according to location. It is a large skink, up to 39 cm in total body length, thickset and generally glossy brown, and can be seen sunning itself at the edge of open forest or rainforest. It eats insects, snails, other lizards and vegetable material and lives in small communities in complex burrow systems.

Obelgoenner had undertaken a highly organized operation and had caught the animals himself. His sentence was reduced to two and a half years’ following a guilty plea and for his co-operation with the investigation. He was also fined AUD2000 (USD1180) on two cruelty charges. Obelgoenner attempted to export six pythons, eight monitor lizards, 68 skink lizards native to the Pilbara and Murchison regions, and numerous geckos from Geraldton. A further 27 reptiles were found in a portable cooler in his vehicle. The animals are in the care of the Department of Conservation and Land Management and are to be released in the wild.

    http://www.earthwatch.org/expeditions/whittier_j.html
    
    Extractions: Situation Report This island is known for its wealth of endemic species, from Tasmanian devils to raucous yellow wattlebirds. Despite being one of the southernmost habitats in the world for lizards, Tasmania harbors 17 species of skink, including 6 endemic species in the genus Niveoscincus Dr. Joan Whittier Dr. Susan Jones and Ashley Edwards suggest that Tasmanian lizards may have special mechanisms to cope with these environmental stresses. You can help them discover if these skinks are also equipped to cope with potential climate change or more local environmental changes brought on by agricultural or other human developments. On the Expedition Your team will do a variety of tasks, working with populations of spotted skinks either at a pristine alpine location on the Central Plateau (February teams) or a forested coastal location (January teams) closer to human developments. You will assist the research staff in capturing skinks along transects through rocky scree habitat, marking them for population studies, gathering blood and fecal samples, and taking data on their weight, sex, size, and parasite load. You will also perform behavioral observations of individual lizards to determine their home ranges and social behavior. Whittier, veteran scientist of Green Turtles of Malaysia, and Jones and Edwards, both experts on the biology of Tasmanian lizards, will each be in the field for some of the teams, assisted by additional staff.

Some of these are very common in the state. Fence lizards and five-lined skinks can easily be found on dry forested hillsides or around old buildings. Ground skinks are common in localized areas, though they are difficult to find because of their secretive nature. Broad-heads and coal skinks are more difficult to find. The six-lined racerunner was just recently added to the state list. Only one population is known in the state and it is likely that the lizard has entered West Virginia via railroad bridges crossing the Potomac River from Maryland All of the lizards in West Virginia are relatively small in size (between 4 - 12 inches long). They are all insectivores and active during the daytime, usually during the hottest months of the year.
