THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 38 - LITTLE BROWN SKINK
The Little Brown Skink, a skink that is little and brown!
I first found these in 2004 down in the woods near the Mississippi River in New Orleans. Here in Arkansas, we have an abundance as well.
The Little Brown Skink (Scincella lateralis) is a small lizard that can often be found across the South-Eastern United States if you are looking. Because they spend a lot of their time under leaf litter and logs in the forest searching for small bugs and insects to eat, they are not always seen even when they are present. Their tiny size and coloration also make them more difficult to locate.
Like many other lizards, the tail of the Little Brown Skink can detach when grabbed or threatened. They will lay tiny eggs, but most often only a few at a time. To learn more, check out the video below.
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

I love the skink! I first learned about them from Carl Hiassen's books. One of his characters, a one-eyed ex-governor is nicknamed Skink. Great video as always @papa-pepper. Thanks!
Interesting, thanks again for the encouragement!
Awesome post @papa-pepper, here is something i made for you to use if you wish :-)
Another discovery for me @papa-pepper! Thanks for that mate! I am always amazed how these animals stay so cool with you, they seem to be relaxing on your hand!
Lovely!

"the tail of the Little Brown Skink can detach when grabbed or threatened"
Scientists should study this, we can solve the amputation problems...
How you do this bro, look so scary 😱
Skinks love our basement during the summer! They also start filing in as it starts to get cold, because our basement is nice and toasty in the winter.
Kind of like winter Texans, only they're skinks and it's your basement they're heading to huh?
We also get a lot of snakes in the basement during cold weather! :D
But that's okay, because this area used to be a big field, and after they built the houses next door and behind this house, the mice infestations are awful every year.
Snakes in the basement eat the mice in the basement, and Cosmo and Nova utterly destroy the mice upstairs. I'm excited to see how well Comet does with hunting mice! (My husband rescued him as a kitten in February.) Apollo isn't exactly sure what to do with mice. And Tuxie? Our eighteen year old intact male? He runs from mice. They scare him.
Go figure...
It's no wonder the alpha cat in our house is a passive inbred ragdoll....
Amazing your little-brown-skinks, his body looks like same texture with a snake. I hope you have a nice time playing with them :-)
There are certainly snakes with the same texture as stinks like this. There are some pretty cool little guys, and we enjoyed them very much.
