Broad-headed Skink

Plestiodon laticeps

Description:

A Broad-headed Skink spotted on a tree stump located along "Heron Trail" at Huntley Meadows Park. I have dubbed this tree stump "Skink stump," because it seems to be a hotspot where skinks like to hang out. Related Resource: "Common Five-lined Skink" http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/114...

Habitat:

Huntley Meadows Park, a 1,425 acre wetland area in Fairfax County, Virginia USA. Related Resource: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/huntl...
