Thank you for the species information -
I always get my amphibians and reptiles confused. Thank you for the correction.

Also, Skinks are reptiles not amphibians. ;)

I agree with Five-lined Skink complex, but it's not safe to say whether E. fasciatus (Five-lined) or E. inexpectatus (Southeastern Five-lined Skink) from this photo.
