this is whats under my damn garage it sleeps on my dogs bed and sleeps beside brandy its cool but its a fat ass one to but im scared to get close to them because they might bite me
well its gone now it only comes under the garage during the summer and its been the same one now for about 3 years but I remember the first time I saw it was when I was backing my mommas car out and I saw it just laying there and I thought it was a snake but anyway I tried to poke it with a stick and it flew off and one time I put a dinner round (dog food) and it ate it whole so I don't ever mess with it because it scares me and there is some blue racers on the patio
There are many of these broad head skinks where I live here in Florida. I'm curious if they eat other lizards. They are quite a bit larger than the other lizards living around my house.
Hi! Thanks for watching. This was filmed using s Canon still camera with an awesome movie mode. Really nice zoom so I can get pretty clear shots of my subjects. Skinks are one of my favorites to photograph, they are beautiful animals!
The males are larger due to fighting over females, and have powerful jaws. I have caught some before and I have noticed that the males are EXTEMELY bite-happy. The females don't like biting, being fairly docile, and only do so if they are pregnant or have already laid eggs.
I have a pet, you can see her in a few of the Skink Paradise vids. She's a 5 lined I think. But, the female broadheads look so much like the 5 lined, it's hard to tell. She's a great pet! Eats out of my hand, has never shown any aggression towards anything except her food.lol
That's a male, and it seems to be a very healthy one at that. Their habitant range extents from Kansas, to Arkansas, to all the way over into the tip of Florida.
We see lots of these lizards here. I filmed one the other day at a little picnic area on side of the road. I've seen one in my garden recently, I hope there will be little ones soon! Surely this lovely guy found a mate.:)
You were right when you called this skink a boy. Male Broad Headed Skinks develop the red/orange color during the breeding season. You may see some babies soon, they are black with bright stripes down their body and a bright blue tail.
Cool, I thought it was a male, but I'm not an expert. I love having them around the yard. I hope we have lots of babies this season. It's hard to tell which are the Broad-head variety or the 5 lined.lol They look almost identicle as hatchlings.
This is probably a female broad headed skink, the female has a larger body in order to carry eggs. I saw one in my back yard yesterday and looked them up. They are quick in warm weather and can scare you when not expecting one.
Ok cool! Thanks for the info. I have a pet five-lined, she's my baby. She'll eat out of my hand. I see these big guys occasionally. This was a large one. Thanks for telling me how to tell the females from males.:)
