Printouts The Blue-tongued Skink (also called the blue tongue lizard) is an Australian lizard . It spends its days eating and sunning itself. At night it rests, sheltered in fallen logs or leaf litter. It is a relatively shy animal, but can put up a bold front when cornered; when threatened, it puffs up its body, sticks out its long, blue tongue, and hisses. The Blue-tongued Skink has a life span of up to 20 years. Anatomy : Blue-tongued Skinks have a long, bright blue tongue, tiny legs, and a short tail which can break off and regrow. This skink grows up to 23.5 inches (60 cm) long. Diet : Blue-tongued Skinks are omnivores (they eat meat and plants). They eat small animals (like insects, worms, and snails) and flowers, fruits and berries.

Page Under Revision Stop 23 Mobile Bay, AL Broad-headed Skink Eumeces laticeps) BEHAVIOR AND ECOLOGY OF THE BROAD-HEADED SKINK, Eumeces laticeps By Bill Cooper Broad-headed skink Broad-headed skinks have long been called scorpions by uninformed rural southerners who believe that they are venomous. Good thing they aren't because they have bitten me hundreds of times with no result worse than a painful pinch and sometimes broken skin. Males during the breeding season have bright orange head coloration, and the heads of large males are proportionally much bigger than those of females. This may be the source of the myth about the venom, but the orange head is not a warning signal to potential predators. Instead, it is a sexually social signal that identifies an adult male in breeding condition. Upon emergence from hibernation, males have tan head coloration. By late April the head turns bright orange under the influence of the male sex steroid hormone testosterone. It stays red throughout the breeding period in May and June, but then fades by July. After mating, females deposit their eggs in protected spaces such as holes in trees and under the bark of fallen logs in areas that have sawdust that helps retain moisture, reducing the chances that the eggs will die from water loss. Females broad-headed skinks and their close relatives are unusual among lizards in that they remain with the eggs until they hatch. They spend much time in contact with the eggs, often coiled about them. When they return to their nests after brief absences, females may rearrange the eggs and retrieve them if they have been moved. Females may provide protection against small predators and eat damaged eggs that would be hazardous to healthy ones due to fungal growth. Although it has not been studied, movement of eggs and selection of relatively moist substrates suggests that they might also benefit the eggs by assuring that they are exposed to adequate moisture.

Skink Description: The skinks make up the largest family of lizards, with the number of species varying between 800-1,200. Most skinks are small, usually not exceeding 200 mm (8 in) in total length, but a few species are larger. Typically, skinks have smooth, shiny, overlapping scales and elongate, cylindrical bodies. Their heads are cone shaped. Femoral pores are absent. The pupil is round, and many species have a large, transparent scale on the lower eyelid that enables them to see even when the lid is closed. In most species the tapering tail is easily broken but can be regenerated. Skinks are most frequently striped but may be banded, spotted, or uniformly colored. Males of many species develop broad heads, presumably used in fighting during the breeding season. Habitat: The skinks, with about 75 genera and 600 species, are one of the two largest lizard families. They are widespread and are particularly abundant in the great forests of Africa and Indoaustralia. The five-lined skink is a small striped lizard found in the wooded areas of the southeastern United States. Diet: Their diet consisting mostly of insects though some are omnivorous.

Blue Tongued Skink ORDER: Squamata FAMILY: Scincidae GENUS: Tiliqua SPECIES: scincoides intermedia No Photo Available I. DESCRIPTION: A large lizard (17-24 inches in length) with a long body, large head and small legs with delicate toes. The tail is shorter than the body and generally tapers to a point. Color consists of a pattern of dark brown bars on a light brown or cream background; orange bars alternate with brown on the sides. They have a faint eye stripe and a cobalt-blue tongue. Scales are shiny, overlapping, and contain small plates of bone. Eardrums are sunken into cavities on sides of head. Skin is shed in pieces. II RANGE AND HABITAT: Blue-tongued skinks live principally in open country with lots of ground cover such as tussocky grasses or leaf litter. eastern The Northern Blue Tongue lives in tropical/savannah woodland in the northern part of West Australia. III. DIET: Omnivorous, eating a variety of insects, snails, carrion, flowers and fruits. They are not very agile and the animals they eat are mostly slow moving. Their teeth are large and they have strong jaw muscles so they can crush snails and beetles. IV. LIFE CYCLE/SOCIAL STRUCTURE:

SUNDIAL REPTILE Quality Herpetoculture by Northern Blue Tongue Skink Care sheet Housing: The larger the better when it comes to enclosures for your skink. Hatchlings can be housed in as small as a 20 gallon enclosure, but a minimum size for an adult is at least a 50 gallon terrarium. Enclosures should typically be longer than they are high. Pairs should be housed in larger enclosures with numerous caves for hiding and space for basking. If you choose to house more than one skink in an enclosure, monitor them carefully, as aggression is common. Lighting/Heating: Skinks like it HOT! The key to heating your enclosure is providing a temperature gradient from a hot basking zone, to a cooler hide area. Basking temps should reach over 100 degrees F. The cooler zone should be around 85 degrees. Place caves on hot and cool sides of the enclosure. We suggest lighting from above (bulb and fixture) to simulate natural sun over undertank heaters. The brighter the light, the better. Skinks thrive under a good full spectrum UV source. We recommend active UV/heat (mercury vapor bulbs). These bulbs work double time to give your skink quality UV and producing heat at the same time. You may also use fluorescent UV full spectrum tubes, although they do not produce the same UV quality. The colors and health of your lizard depends on good bright light and UV. Your skink will also benefit from natural sunlight and we recommend bringing your lizard outside in an outdoor basking enclosure.

The chevron skink is one of New Zealand's rarest lizards. It is listed internationally as a vulnerable species. Less than 100 sightings have been reported since it was first described in 1906 and, because of this, very little is known about where it lives or its way of life. Chevron skink belong to the genus Oligosoma (formerly Leiolopisma) members of which are only found in New Zealand. Their scientific name is Oligosoma homalonotum. The species name "homalonotum" means smooth backed. The very distinctive v shaped markings on the back of the chevron skink give it its common name. Lost for over 60 years First scientifically described in 1906 the chevron skink was not reported again until the 1970s. It had essentially been "lost" for over 60 years. This was partly due to a mix up of museum labels that gave its locality as Flat

They are unique to Otago, and are two of New Zealand's rarest reptiles. Grand skinks are black with yellowish flecks, while Otago skinks are black with grey, green, or yellowish blotches. These colour patterns provide fantastic camouflage amid the lichen-covered rocks they inhabit. Once widespread in Central Otago, these skinks are now found in only 8% of their former range. They are regarded as 'vulnerable,' and carry a 'Category A' priority for conservation action. A Department of Conservation Recovery Plan has been underway since 1995, and is now under review. Ecology and habitat Grand skinks are smaller then Otago skinks, but they are often considered together because they share similar

REPTILES PHOTO INDEX LIZARDS Broad-headed skink Fence lizard, northern Five-lined skink Ground skink ... BACK TO OHIO REPTILES Lizards are closely related to snakes, and belong to the same order (Squamata), Unlike snakes, lizards usually have four legs, external ear openings, and movable eyelids. Instead of the snake's single row of ventral scales, lizards have several rows of scales on their undersides. Northern Fence Lizard Ground Skink Five-Lined Skink Broad-Headed Skink There should be no confusion between salamanders and lizards-salamanders have smooth, slimy skin and their toes have no claws. Lizards have rough, dry, scaly skin and claws on their toes. There are about 90 species of lizards in America, most of which are native to the Southwest. Four species are native to Ohio, and one exotic species has become established. They are very beneficial, feeding largely on insects such as grasshoppers, crickets, and beetles, and various insect larvae. NORTHERN FENCE LIZARD Sceloporus undulatus hyacinthintus Unlike skinkcs, fence lizards belong to a group of rough-scaled reptiles called spiny lizards. They are tree climbers. When encountered on the ground, fence lizards will usually dart to the nearest tree, climb up the side opposite their pursuer and remain motionless. If they are approached closely, they will continue up the trunk, making sure always to stay on the side opposite the pursuer.
