Extractions: Lizards Many people think lizards only live in the desert. However, lizards are found almost everywhere around the world. There are almost 3,800 species worldwide. Over 110 kinds can be found in the United States. Lizards including iguanas, monitors, geckos, and horned lizards are the most common and fascinating reptile. In some areas of the US, people mistake lizards for salamanders. Salamanders and lizards are not related. Salamanders are amphibians like frogs. Lizards and snakes are closely related. Eastern Collared Lizard Size: The largest lizard is the Komodo monitor. It can grow to be over 10 feet long (3 meters). It can weigh nearly 300 pounds. The smallest lizard is a tiny gecko. Characteristics: Most lizards have dry, scaly skin, four legs, clawed feet, external ear openings, and a long tail. Lizards have a fragile, detachable tail. Many species have a weak point in their a tail. A slight tug or bump can be all that's needed to break it off. The thrashing tail distracts the predator. In some lizards, brightly colored tails increase the chance of losing a tail rather than losing a life. However, not all lizards lose their tails easily. For example, the collared lizard (above), has a sturdy tail that is rarely lost. Lizard tails help in balance and locomotion. Tails are also part of the social status and an area for fat storage. Losing the tail can be a serious problem for a lizard. If they live long enough, some lizards can grow back their tail.

It is relatively small with a black body with yellow stripes going to a bright blue tail. Blue-tailed skinks are usually about 4 to 8 centimeters long. When they become frightened they have the ability to pop their tail off and it will continue to wiggle and distract their predator while they run away. When young they have a dark black body with bright yellow stripes leading from the back of the neck down to the meeting of the bright blue tail. As the juvenile males age, they lose their yellowish stripes and their back starts to become a brownish black color, and they begin to grow a reddish color underneath the neck during the mating seasons. Females usually keep their blue tail for their whole life, though. It is thought that the bright coloring on the tail is intended to direct the predator's attention to it, instead of the vulnerable body.

Extractions: Home Reptile Cages How to Care for a Skink By an eHow Contributor I want to do this! What's This? Skinks usually reach an adult length of 8 to 12 inches with male lizards being larger than females. They come in many varieties with different colors and sizes. While all skinks are terrestrial and inhabit forest floors, they adapt well to cage life if properly cared for. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Provide an appropriately sized enclosure for the number of skinks you wish to purchase. You can house one male along with three females in a 20-gallon aquarium. You should also purchase a locking screen top lid for the aquarium to prevent escapes. Spread a 3- to 4-inch layer of mulch, bark or soil in the bottom of your skinks cage to help maintain humidity.
Reptiles: Schneider Skink Lizards Missing Toes, Herp Vet, Schneider Skink herp vet, schneider skink, missing toes Hello Marci, the toes will not grow back and if it is housed with another lizard of any type then that is most likely the cause. Unless http://en.allexperts.com/q/Reptiles-704/Schneider-skink-lizards-missing.htm
Extractions: Hello Marci, the toes will not grow back and if it is housed with another lizard of any type then that is most likely the cause. Unless perhaps you feed them crickets and left the crickets in there overnight? I suggest moving him to a separate enclosure, line the bottom with papertowels (safe and to reduce the chance of infection) Keep the new enclosure really clean increase the heat a couple degrees and use polysporin on any open wounds. A herp vet is the best thing for him so that he can get the proper anti-biotic or other medication needed to heal. And they can help with what to do after that and what to look for. I am sorry this happened and I hope he is ok and gets through this. Good luck

Extractions: Smooth, sleek, and shiny are the adjectives used to describe the healthy skink. All the species of skinks found in Florida prowl on the ground for small insects, although the larger species also climb trees and wooden structures. The skink family is a large group and this lizard is found on all continents. Skinks are not easy to catch! Larger skinks may try to bite but a skink will rarely break the skin. Many skinks have blue tails. This may be part of a defense strategy called defective coloration. The blue color is supposed to serve as a warning to predators that the skink is poisonous and there is some actual evidence that the blue tails are poisonous if eaten. Ground Skink- Ground skinks are small, slender lizards with long tails and short legs. They range from golden brown to almost black in coloration but are most often coppery brown with a darker stripe running along each side of the body. The belly is white or yellowish. Unlike many other lizards in our region, ground skinks virtually never climb. Rather than running on their tiny legs, ground skinks use their slender bodies to wriggle or "swim" through leaf litter or loose soil, often disappearing in a flash as soon as they are discovered. Ground skinks prey on tiny insects, spiders, and other invertebrates. Female ground skinks lay clutches of several eggs in moist soil or rotten logs during the summer. It is suspected that ground skinks may lay several clutches per season.
