Cool! Glad you could ID it. They can be tricky.
Thanks you both! I found a more focused picture on my camera (still need to upload), and I could count five of the scales under the ridge.
It look similar to an adult female Five-lined skink. It could also be a female Broad-headed skink. They look similar:Broad-headed Skink female: http://cryptobranchidae.tripod.com/siteb...Five-lined Skink female:http://www.herpetology.us/tnherps/common...
