I guess they are kinda like long-tails. Very high speed though. I only caught the two I have with prevention. (Preventing them returning to their little hide hole. But a serious update, should I try next year to breed them? If I do, I don't want them to become a species that people mistreat mistakingly (like brown and green anoles)

I kept a Five-lined Skink about 50 years ago. I bought it from a biological supply place in Kansas. The people that owned it were well known biologists by the name of Burke. It was a great place because they cared about the animals they sold. I feed it spiders, flies and a few meal worms.

I said the people's name was Burke. That's wrong their name was Dr. Charles Burt. I believe his wife was named Nettie. I believe they were both biologist and they may have been Herpetologists.
