Thank you Team Brinez!
Nice pic
Thanks again Lisa.
Karen,
I would leave it as Plestiodon ssp.
Thanks Lisa - does this mean I will need to leave it as "unknown"?
They are now Plestiodon instead of Eumeces. Also we have three that look identical as juveniles, the Five-lined, Southeastern Five-lined and Broad-headed Skink. Unless you observe the scales under the tail and count the labial scales, they are undistguishable at this size.
