Western Skink (Eumeces skiltonianus)
Like whiptails, these lizards are hard to photograph because they're very skittish and they rarely stop moving. [eng] |

Eumeces fasciatus (Five-Lined Skink): Narrative
Five-lined skinks prefer moist, but not wet, wooded or partially wooded areas with significant cover and abundant basking sites. These sites may include wood or brush piles, stumps, logs, rocky outcrops, loose bark, and abandoned buildings. Most five-lined skinks inhabit disturbed environments, such as forest edges, cleared areas, or burned regions, commonly called ecotone areas. [eng] |

Eumeces fasciatus
Habitat: Wooded habitats including dry uplands, floodplains, and hardwood swamps. Also found on abandoned buildings and around trash piles. [eng] |

Southeastern Five-lined Skink (Eumeces inexpectatus)
This wary skink only let me get one long-distance photo before gliding away under the palm log. There are three species of skinks in Florida that are nearly indistinguishable without checking the scale patterns closely. [eng] |

Eumeces fasciatus Atlas page
Five-lined Skink distribution in Wisconsin is widely scattered. It appears to be absent from the north-central forested region. Records from southeastern Wisconsin are based on old museum specimens (circa 1888), and these populations are apparently extirpated. Distrubution appears to be correlated to some extent with sandy soils. [eng] |

Eumeces gilbertii, the Gilberts Skink
A large, robust skink seldom seen in the open. Adult individuals are surprisingly strong when handled. Juveniles are fragile, and should be handled with care. [eng] |

Five-Lined Skink (Eumeces fasciatus)
Skinks are most likely to be encountered in wooded or partially wooded habitat. One important component is basking areas where the lizards can sit to increase their body temperatures. Favorite basking areas include stumps, logs, rocks, or outcroppings. Moist habitat areas are preferred. [eng] |

Eumeces septentrionalis Atlas page
Northern Prairie Skink distribution is strongly correlated with sand soils. All records are from sand deposits in northwestern Wisconsin. This small, spritely lizard feeds on small inverebrates such as spiders and crickets. It actively burrows to find protection from predators and escape temperature extremes. It constructs nest chambers in which to lay its eggs. [eng] |

Eumeces skiltonianus, the Western Skink
A common species, although seldom seen in the open. Small, delicate species with smooth scales making individuals difficult to handle. Will lose tail easily, and body scales may come off of young individuals if handled too roughly. Lives in most terrestrial habitat types. This species is found throughout the reserve bu appears to be most common in the upland habitat and mesa tops, being rare on the back dunes. [eng] |
