Five-lined Skink

Description:

Adult five-lined skinks, 12.7 to 21.6 cm in length, are characterized by five yellow to cream colored stripes of equal width running dorsally and laterally from the snout to tail. These stripes, separated by darker lines, may lighten with age, eventually disappearing in older males.

Habitat:

Prefer moist, but not wet, wooded or partially wooded areas with significant cover and abundant basking sites.
