Critters of the SeasonCommon Five-lined Skink (Plestiodon fasciatus) These two lizards are a male and female five-lined skink. They are common here at ECLP. They eat spiders and other insects. The females lay eggs and will guard them. In July the eggs will hatch and the park comes to life with beautiful blue tailed lizards every where. It is very important that these reptiles are not touched. Five-lined skinks can break their own tail off when threatened. Please observe these awesome animals but do not touch them.
