2. Skinks! Blue-Tailed Western Skink Lizards
Skinks are cool lizards. They look almost like snakes with legs! If you doget a skink watch out for their tail because it will break off easily.
http://www.eoni.com/~neener/skinks.html
Skinks are cool lizards. They look almost like snakes with legs! If you do get a skink watch out for their tail because it will break off easily. That's what happened to my first Skink! I caught these two Skinks in the wild and brought them home to keep them over the summer of 1999, so I could study them and learn to take care of them.
My skinks lived in a cage with some sand and rocks that they could hide in/under. They dig a lot of the time! It was hard to get my first Skink to eat, so I decided to try a new approach. I killed a spider so my Skink could smell it. It worked. He walked right over to it and ate! Skinks like spiders that are just about dead.
Skinks prefer spiders or grasshoppers or even moths to eat. Skinks will drink water out of a little pan but the best way to give my Skinks water was drip it on a rock, because they like to lick it off.
A Skink can get about nine inches long according to the Western Skink, which is what I am talking about.
In August of 1999 these two Skinks were returned to their natural habitat in healthy condition. They were very interesting to watch and take care of, and I'm glad I had them.

    Blue-tongued Lizards
    Illustration: E.Cameron Blue-tongued lizards are the largest members of the skink family (Scincidae). Skink lizards have overlapping scales that are usually smooth and contain small plates of bone. There are more than 300 species of skinks in Australia. Australia has six species of blue-tongued lizards and three are common and widespread in New South Wales. The Eastern Blue-tongue ( Tiliqua scincoides scincoides ) occurs throughout much of the state, west to about Cobar but the Blotched Blue-tongue ( Tiliqua nigrolutea ) is restricted to highland areas from the Victorian border to the Blue Mountains. The Shingleback ( Tiliqua rugosa ), also known as the Boggi, Sleepy Lizard and Stumpy-tailed Lizard, is common on the plains west of the Great Dividing Range where rainfall is low. The Eastern Blue-tongue is silvery-grey with broad dark brown or blackish bands across the back and tail. Individuals on the coast usually have a black stripe between the eye and the ear which may extend along the side of the neck. The Blotched Blue-tongue is dark chocolate brown to black with large pink, cream or yellow blotches on the back, and a tail banded in the same colours.

    The Lizards of Missouri
    by Tom R. Johnson Missouri's 13 species of lizards are interesting, colorful and beneficial. They should not be feared and need our protection. Missouri is home to 13 kinds of lizards. All lizards native to the Show-Me-State are harmless and non-venomous. Like other reptiles, lizards are ectodermic or "cold-blooded." They are closely related to snakes, and some even look and "act" just like snakes. Most Missouri lizards are long, slender reptiles with scales, a long tail and four legs with claws on their toes. They are different from snakes because they have legs, ear openings and eyelids. However, as with other animals, there are exceptions: The western slender glass lizard, which lives in many Missouri counties, is legless, but has eyelids and ear openings, which snakes lack. Habitats Our lizards live in three types of habitats: forests, glades and prairies. Those living in forests use clearings, where they bask in the sun on fallen logs. Glade species bask in the sun on rocks, as well as take shelter under them at night. Prairie lizards have no problem finding places to bask, but they take shelter in animal burrows or under dead grass. Lizard Skin Missouri's lizards all have scales and a tough outer skin. Just like snakes, lizards must shed their skin so they can grow. A lizard's outer skin normally comes off in large pieces three or four times during the summer.

The Common Blue Tongue Skink is also known as the Northern Blue Tongued Skink. They are easy to care for and can be good pets for even beginning lizard keepers. There are several varieties of the Blue Tongue Skink. The Northern Blue Tongued Skink lives in tropical and savannah woodlands. Blue Tongue Skinks are terrestrial animals, meaning they spend all of their time on the ground rather than climbing trees. However, they are capable of climbing. Blue Tongue Skinks live in semi-humid, moderately warm regions. They are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. In captivity, they are usually fed a diet of 60% plant and 40% animal matter. If acccustomed to handling, they are very docile. When hungry, they may mistake a human finger for a mouse. The average lifespan of a Northern Blue Tongue Skink kept in captivity is approximately 15 to 20 years if they are well cared for. In the wild they will usually live from 20 to 25 years, though some individuals may live beyond this.

Being nocturnal (coming out at night), these lizards forage for leaves, fruits, vegetables. Prehensile-tail refers to these lizards using their tail as a grasping appendage, who can actually hang from a branch with their tail. The Solomon Island Prehensile-tail Skink is ovoviviparous. This refers to the form of reproduction where the young hatch just before, while, or shortly after the eggs are laid. Created by Dynaserve For site problems, contact the Webmaster
