Extractions: Animal Description: The Togo Fire Skink is a magnificent lizard in any reptile menagerie. The Togo Fire Skink is an interesting and attractive lizard that is relatively easy to keep. In their native West Africa they spend a lot of time underground, relaxing in the burrows they make; and they will do the same in captivity, so do not expect to see much of them. Fire skinks are omnivores. In the wild their diet consists primarily of insects and some fruits. In captivity they can be fed insects, pinky mice, low-calorie canned dog food (a premium brand), and commercially available carnivorous and omnivorous reptile food such as canned monitor diet, canned iguana diet, and canned box turtle diet, respectively. Fresh fruits can also be offered, but should not make up a large part of the diet. When frightened, Togo Fire Skinks will usually gape their mouths and hiss at you before attempting to bite; they would much rather run away than face a confrontation.

Extractions: North-eastern Queensland, from Cooktown south to Townsville. Rainforest and wet sclerophyll forests and their margins, especially edge habitats beside tracks, clearings and streams. A smallish dark grey brown skink, adults with a rich red flush to the sides of the neck. The dorsal surface features numerous scattered darker and paler flecks. Sometimes there is a narrow pale dorso-lateral stripe that commences over the eye and extends to the tail in females. This strip is absent or present only anteriorly in adult males. The flanks are darker and are finely speckled with black and pale brown. Sometimes there is a pale mid-lateral stripe present. The head is paler than the body, usually a rich bronze-brown. The ventral surface is whitish. The lower eyelid features a transparent disc, roughly equal in size to the ear opening. SVL = 50mm. Oviparous - mating has been observed in September, though males are in reproductive condition year-round. Females are generally gravid from September to April although they may also be reproductively active year round. One or two eggs are laid, sometimes communally.

Extractions: @import "/stylesheets/herpetology_advanced.css"; Jump directly to: page contents site navigation Australian Museum Online home Ross A. Sadlier and Aaron M. Bauer The endemic (native to a particular geographic area) lizard fauna of New Caledonia is rich in both number of species and diversity. Almost half of the endemic lizard species have very limited geographical ranges. Of these a number are only known from two or fewer localities. The highly restricted distribution of such a high proportion of the endemic lizards indicates extensive micro- endemism has occurred in the past. As such many of the endemic New Caledonian lizards will require targeted conservation actions and research. The accounts presented for each of the endemic New Caledonian lizards, attempts to identify those species of particular conservation concern, and the perceived threats facing each species.

Alligators Green Anole Anolis carolinensis Description: maximum length 8 inches; bright green but can change color to light brown but always evenly hued; whitish chin; females have light stripe down the back and males don't (male top photo, female second photo); three factors influence color and change of color: camouflage, temperature, emotion. When on green vegetation or light background, tend to be green; when on bark or dark background, tend to be brown. When temperatures are around 70 or higher, tend to stay green; when in 60's are lower, tend to be brown. When males display for territory or females, turn bright green; when males fight, the winner turns bright green and the loser turns brown. Both males and females have dewlaps although males' slightly larger; used for breeding and territorial displays; Green Anoles in Southwest Florida have cream-colored dewlaps (third photo) while Green Anoles elsewhere have pinkish dewlaps. Mature males also have ridge or crest down back called a "roach"

Extractions: It is one of the more larger lizards of this genre. It has a large pyramidal head. The head almost looks like the tail. You can be fooled sometimes by a quick glance on which end is which. This is a feature that will set this lizard all by it self from the many skinks. The trunk is is very long and thick and flattened. It has strong limbs and claws with short toes. It has thick, rough cone shaped plates on the top of his head. On his belly side the plates are smaller and smooth and contain about 20 or 30 rows of scales around the middle of the body.They also have osteoderms which is bony plates within their scales. This is also where they get their name Shingleback because it looks like shingles on a roof. The color also varries that ranges from a white to dark gray to reddish. These lizards are very lethargic and slow moving. They will often bask in the sun on roads, and since they are slow they usually get ran over by cars. They are usually active during the heat of the day or midday. They usually eat plant food than animals, but their teeth are large and have strong jaw muscles to break snails' shells and beetles. They use their sight in individual identication, as well as in prey identification. They also have a keen sense of smell. They can use it to identify other species, sex, and sexual receptivity of the females. When they know danger is coming or around they will put itself in an arc and will stick out its blue tounge through the reddish brim of his mouth while hissing. They will rarely bite so this is a way to try and scare off the threat. Althogh it is slow, it can run pretty quickly if there is an emergency.

Although I have access to a scanner, my time is at a premium..... Some day, some day! Corucia zebrata , the Solomon Island skink, also called the Prehensile-Tailed skink or the Monkey-tailed skink, has become a very popular choice for a pet lizard. A number of factors contribute to this popularity: they are large animals, they are herbivorous, they are relatively calm and nonaggressive, most animals can be handled, and they exhibit a wide range of appealing behaviors. These lizards were not routinely available until the late 1980's when they began to be imported in large numbers from the Solomon Islands, the only place to which they are endemic. In 1992 Corucia zebrata was listed as a CITES Appendix II animal, which allows limits to be placed on the number of animals in commercial trade between countries. The Solomon Island Skink was listed because of the large numbers of lizards being exported, as the small region to which the skink is native, combined with its low reproductive rate, leave it vulnerable to overcollection. We were given a single Corucia zebrata in the summer of 1992 as a pet shop rescue. The animal was dehydrated and undernourished, but responded well to treatment, gaining weight rapidly once it became acclimated to its new environment. The skink was a large adult, with a number of battle scars, including missing toes, a chunk of muscle removed about two-thirds of the way along the tail, and a patch of scar tissue over the pelvic region. Injuries such as these are often suffered by females during mating. The presumed female lives in a 3' x 3' x 3' enclosure, with a ceiling-mounted hiding area and a number of climbing branches. Two sides of the cage are wooden, the remaining sides are wire mesh. Feeding occurs three or four times a week in the early evening. In general, our care follows the guidelines put forth in a number of recent publications on

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.

Extractions: Kansas specimen Key to Similar Species Status Great plains skinks are listed as endangered species in Iowa due to their restricted range. Description The great plains skink reaches nearly 14 inches total length (Conant and Collins 1991). Scalation appears same as in the other skinks; smooth, but the lateral scales are arranged in uneven, oblique rows. The other two skinks have uniform lateral scale rows. Great plains skinks also look different than the other two skink species. Adults are brown or black with a gold or light colored dot on each scale. This coloration often takes over to produce a gold or tan lizard with black dots. The dark dots are sometimes arranged in such a way as to give the appearance of dark stripes, but these are not clean cut. These lizards are much larger than the other two Iowa skink species. Young are black with white dots on the lips, head and neck. The tail is bluish. Some specimens may have bright blue tails, but it may be difficult to see in others. They are about 2 1/2 inches at hatching. Subspecies There are no recognized subspecies of the great plains skink, Eumeces obsoletus.

Extractions: Butler Co., IA Key to Similar Species Status No status assigned in Iowa Description The prairie skink reaches lengths of 5 1/4 to 8 3/4 inches, total length (Conant and Collins 1991). The body scales are smooth and uniform giving the lizard a shiny appearance. Adults are tan or brown on the back, becoming darker on the sides. There are two very thin white stripes on the sides. The back may be unmarked except for two very thin, interrupted black stripes or two large black stripes that are as wide as the spaces between them. The head is unmarked. The males develop a bright orange coloration on the labial scales during the breeding season. Young have bright blue tails that fade as they become adults. Prairie skinks differ from the similar five-lined skink in that the light bands are as wide as the black bands on the sides. Five-lineds have very thin light bands on a dark ground color. Subspecies The subspecies of prairie skink in Iowa is the northern prairie skink, Eumeces septentrionalis septentrionalis.
