Poisoness
These lizards are not poisonous and are quite harmless!
This is one of three species of skink native to Mississippi: P. fasciatus - Common Five-lined Skink
P. inexpectatus - Southeastern Five-lined Skink
P. laticeps - Broad-headed Skink
But without being able to see the scales, it is impossible to figure out which of the three species it is.
