A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Plestiodon laticeps
Large male skink. Biggest skink I've ever seen, but the females of this species are bigger (up to 13"!). He was not pleased about being caught and opened a fierce-looking but toothless mouth. After the photo session, I released him unharmed.
Rocky ground in deciduous forest, at the side of the Appalachian Trail.
