Carlia Rubrigularis lizards OF THE WET TROPICS. Northern Redthroated skink, Carlia rubrigularis. DISTRIBUTIONNorth-eastern Queensland, from Cooktown south to Townsville. HABITAT http://www.jcu.edu.au/dept/Zoology/herp/wtlz/rubr.html
Extractions: North-eastern Queensland, from Cooktown south to Townsville. Rainforest and wet sclerophyll forests and their margins, especially edge habitats beside tracks, clearings and streams. A smallish dark grey brown skink, adults with a rich red flush to the sides of the neck. The dorsal surface features numerous scattered darker and paler flecks. Sometimes there is a narrow pale dorso-lateral stripe that commences over the eye and extends to the tail in females. This strip is absent or present only anteriorly in adult males. The flanks are darker and are finely speckled with black and pale brown. Sometimes there is a pale mid-lateral stripe present. The head is paler than the body, usually a rich bronze-brown. The ventral surface is whitish. The lower eyelid features a transparent disc, roughly equal in size to the ear opening. SVL = 50mm. Oviparous - mating has been observed in September, though males are in reproductive condition year-round. Females are generally gravid from September to April although they may also be reproductively active year round. One or two eggs are laid, sometimes communally.

Extractions: The Lizards of Missouri by Tom R. Johnson Missouri's 13 species of lizards are interesting, colorful and beneficial. They should not be feared and need our protection. Missouri is home to 13 kinds of lizards. All lizards native to the Show-Me-State are harmless and non-venomous. Like other reptiles, lizards are ecdothermic or "cold-blooded." They are closely related to snakes, and some even look and "act" just like snakes. Most Missouri lizards are long, slender reptiles with scales, a long tail and four legs with claws on their toes. They are different from snakes because they have legs, ear openings and eyelids. However, as with other animals, there are exceptions: The western slender glass lizard, which lives in many Missouri counties, is legless, but has eyelids and ear openings, which snakes lack. Habitats Our lizards live in three types of habitats: forests, glades and prairies. Those living in forests use clearings, where they bask in the sun on fallen logs. Glade species bask in the sun on rocks, as well as take shelter under them at night. Prairie lizards have no problem finding places to bask, but they take shelter in animal burrows or under dead grass. Lizard Skin Missouri's lizards all have scales and a tough outer skin. Just like snakes, lizards must shed their skin so they can grow. A lizard's outer skin normally comes off in large pieces three or four times during the summer.

Extractions: Ground Skink Scincella lateralis Average total length is 4 inches. This is Missouri's smallest species of lizard. They are brown with dark brown or black stripes and speckling along their sides. Ground skinks live on the forest floor and spend much of their time in dead leaves or under flat rocks. They do not climb trees like the other forest-dwelling skinks. When walking along a forest trail, hikers may hear the sound of small lizards scurrying through dead leaves, but seldom see them. Distribution is statewide except for a few counties in the northwestern corner. A "pregnant" female ground skink. It laid four eggs a few days after this photo was taken. Five-lined Skink Eumeces fasciatus Average total length is 6.5 inches. Often called the "blue-tailed" skink, this is Missouri's most common skink. It has five light lines from the head to the base of the tail. Adult females have brighter stripes than adult males. During the breeding season in late spring, males have bright orange on their heads. Hatchlings and those under a year of age have brilliant cobalt-blue tails. Five-lined skinks live in forests statewide, except for the northwest corner. Young five-lined skink showing its beautiful cobalt-blue tail. This color changes to a dull-gray after a year (above-left)

Chinese Water Dragon BLUE TONGUED SKINK B lue-tongued skinks are found in Australia, as well as New Guinea, where they roam free in arid areas with minimal amount of coverage. T hese are terrestrial (land dwelling) lizards that bask occasionally. T he Blue-tongued skink can grow to a length of 24 inches (60 cm). T he diet consists of mainly plant material, but also included are insects, mice, smaller lizards, and snails. T his lizard derives its name from the colour of its tongue. *T he Blue-tongued skink is viviparous (giving birth to live young). W hether these lizards are captive born (where the parents are confined in cages, and the babies are taken away as soon as they are born and sold in the pet trade) or wild caught (and sold), they still have wild instincts and should remain in their native homelands.

Extractions: Last updated 24 August 2002: updated subspecies locations for C. ocellatus and C. chalcides As befitting such a ubiquitous family, the skinks have several species in Europe, although most are confined to the southern parts. Most if not all show the reduced limbs or leglessness so typical of this family. Suborder SAURIA Scientific Name Common Name Distribution Size Notes Family SCINCIDAE Ablepharus kitaibelli kitaibelli Snake-eyed Skink Greece, Asia Minor Small and timid but very territorial skink, this is the most northerly of its family. Like many skinks of this size it is a forest dweller, living in leaf litter and preying on small insects and spiders. They normally hibernate from October to April, depending on the climate. Males normally have longer limbs, but otherwise the sexes are hard to distinguish. 2-4 eggs are laid in a hole in the ground. The genus Ablepharus is characterised by the fused and transparent eyelids (like those of the true geckos or snakes), hence the common name. A. k. fitzingeri

Yellow eyed Penguin (Hoiho) The Otago skink and grand skink are two of New Zealand's most impressive lizards, and grow as long as 300mm. They are unique to Otago, and are two of New Zealand's rarest reptiles. Grand skinks are black with yellowish flecks, while Otago skinks are black with grey, green, or yellowish blotches. These colour patterns provide fantastic camouflage amid the lichen-covered rocks they inhabit. Once widespread in Central Otago, these skinks are now found in only 8% of their former range. They are regarded as 'vulnerable,' and carry a 'Category A' priority for conservation action. A Department of Conservation Recovery Plan has been underway since 1995, and is now under review. Grand skinks are smaller then Otago skinks, but they are often considered together because they share similar

Extractions: Animal Description: The Eastern Blue Tongue is native to Australia and surrounding regions. The Eastern Blue Tongue is sometimes known in Australia as the Common Blue-Tongued Skink. They are easy to care for and to breed and are good pets for anyone interested in lizard husbandry. There are several varieties of Blue Tongue Skink. They live in woodlands, in the region between forests and fields and in semi-deserts. Blue Tongue Skinks are terrestrial animals, meaning they spend all of their time on the ground rather than climbing trees. However, they are capable of climbing. Blue Tongue Skinks live in semi-humid, moderately warm regions. They are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. In captivity, they are usually fed a mix of 60% plant, 40% animal. They are very docile and can even be handled by small children. When hungry, they may mistake a human finger for a mouse. Like other Blue Tongue Skinks, Eastern Blue tongues are long lived averaging between 15 and 25 years. Some individuals may live well into their 30s.
