The American Five-lined Skink is small to medium sized, growing to about 5 to 8 inches in total length. Young Five-lined Skinks are dark brown to black with five distinctive white to yellowish stripes running along the body and a bright blue tail. The blue color fades to light blue with age, and the stripes also may slowly disappear.
