skink

Description:

Red Faced, about 4 inches long.

Habitat:

It occurs in many types of habitats and is often seen basking on fallen trees, walls, or in piles of trash. It makes it living on the ground, scratching through dead leaves and plants in search of insects. When alarmed, it vanishes into the dead leaves or sometimes takes to the water.

Notes:

In spring, breeding males have orange heads and cheeks.
