What a beautiful lizard!
The Five Lined Skink is the first wild lizard that I ever encountered back in Wisconsin. I really enjoy their striking yellow and black body, and when you add the electric blue tail, it is utterly amazing. You really have to appreciate the incredible coloration of creatures like this.
On the hot Arkansas days, you will often hear these guys more often than you will see them. When their little bodies are heated up by the sun, they are super-fast and will run into rock piles and underbrush as soon as they see you, which makes it harder for you to see them. This one cooperated rather well for the photo shoot.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Well done @papa-pepper, like always!

What a sweet little skinky! 🦎
I snapped some pics of one in a rainforest in Australia this past February (Steem-posted, of course); but there is NO DOUBT that @papa-pepper has the prettiest skink of them all!

Skinks are very populated in alabama as well. They are fast, they give my cat a run for her money every time she see one. I will tell you a few times that I have encountered them I thought they where a snake at first. Awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing

The first one I saw I only saw the head at first, so I thought that it was a Garter Snake.

They kinda move like a snake as well. But they will make you think twice weather or not you just seen a snake. Very cool follow up to the cooper head.

Very cool! We have lizards here in NM. The horned lizards are cute and relatively easy to Catch and /or photo. Another lizard we have, no one seems to have a name for. They are very streamline and fast. Forget trying to catch one unless you manage to corner it. Even then they are very nasty. I found one that had fallen into a bucket. I fully intended to let it go but wanted to hold and get a good look at it. When I picked it up, it latched onto my finger and thrashed about wildly until I dropped back into the bucket. I then took the bucket and released it into a nearby field. If you don't try to catch them, they will stop and check you out, giving you a good chance to do the same.

They are cool. I have a short video of one I filmed while out rock hunting. If I can figure out how to down load it into a post I will. Didn't get any spectacular minerals, but I did find a bird point.

Hey brother! Wow your 74... has it been that long since I have been around these parts. Haha!?
Welp, your post reminds me of the Horny Toad I caught the other day... at least that is what I think it was. I should have taken pictures and posted a story but I didn't think to... oh well.
Hope all is well my friend. As always I love the critters.

I need to, I did post about the baby rats I found and couldn't leave so decided to keep.
Been going to the beach a lot and you can only tell so many stories about going to the beach. Haha, other than that I have just been working and taking pictures isn't really a good idea.
Maybe at the new store opening I will ask if I can bring my drove and see if I can get some good pictures, and videos, but for that I need to find/buy a new charger since I left my other one in Colorado :( Shouldn't be to much trouble though.

I don't think I have mulched any of these in yard work. They're good at scattering when the trimmer or mower is on the way, as far as I have seen. They're cool, and I don't want to hurt them!

Awesome! Great shots of the little guy. In Alabama, we called them 'blue-tailed skinks' and I always really liked them.
It's been a long time, and it's nice to see you around papa!
