This is a large, prehistoric looking lizard that lives mainly on trees and stone walls and can reach a length of well over 30cm. In Europe it is only found in small colonies in Greece Look for Kotschy's Gecko under rocks and stones, not inside houses The Spiny- footed Lizard is agile but has suffered from losing many of its habitats in the coastal zone The Troodos Rock Lizard can, in fact, be found all the way down th the sea. and the Greek islands and in profusion practically everywhere in Cyprus. It is often seen basking in the sun quite motionless until disturbed, when it dashes to the safety of its hide. Chameleons are fairly common in Cyprus but difficult to spot as they are slow moving and often hide in trees. They are usually seen, painfully slowly, crossing roads, which take a toll on these animals. The Turkish Gecko

84. Care - Crocodile Skink OrangeEyed Crocodile skink. (Triblonotus gracilis). When selecting acage, pay special attention to the humidity needs of these lizards. http://www.vmsherp.com/CarePages/CareTribs.htm

Orange-Eyed Crocodile Skink Triblonotus gracilis Native Range: Virtually unknown in captive collections until 1994 when specimens of T. gracilis and T. novaeguineae were imported from the Indonesian country of Irian Jaya on the western end of the island of New Guinea. Little information is available on their natural habitat, although they have been collected in moist habitat along waterways at fairly high elevations. Size and Appearance: Approximately two and one-half inches long at birth, they average about eight to ten inches in length as adults. Juveniles are dark brownish black with a thin white or cream mid-dorsal stripe. Adult specimens are solid dark reddish brown with a startlingly bright orange ring around the eye. Some captive-bred specimens have varying amounts of gold flecking on the toes and face. It is not know whether this is genetic or dietary in nature. Handling: ‘Tribbies’, as they are affectionately known, will rarely attempt to bite, although they may do so if restrained. Handle gently, without pinching or squeezing. Remember that the tail may break off if handled roughly, and although it will regenerate, it will not appear original. Until accustomed to handling; the lizard should be handled inside the cage or while sitting on the floor. A frightened lizard may leap out of the keepers’ hand and take a fatal fall if held while standing. Juveniles may play dead if frightened, and this display is so convincing that we once discarded a live one into the trash before realizing our mistake!

85. Lizards skinks are smooth, shiny, active lizards that may be seen scurrying quickly SouthFlorida has three native skink species, the ground skink, the peninsular mole http://www.lee-county.com/extensionservices/articlearchive/lizards.htm

Question: I have recently moved into the area and am unfamiliar with lizards (being the city girl that I am). Should I be concerned that they are abundant around my home? M. Gordon, e-mail Answer: Lizards make up one of the most diverse and successful groups of modern reptiles. Many people fear lizards out of misunderstanding. Too often lizards have been overlooked as valuable contributors to the environment. Do not be afraid or concerned about their abundance. The lizards of South Florida feed mostly on insects and other small invertebrates, making them economically important to man as natural pest controls. More important still is their ecological role as predators and prey. The survival of many larger lizards, birds, mammals, and snakes is dependent on the availability of lizards as food. They are an essential element in the balance of nature. Let me acquaint you with a few of the native lizards so you can enjoy watching them. Anoles are the most commonly seen lizard in Florida. Most people call anoles "chameleons" due to the green anole’s ability to change color. In fact, anoles are only distantly related to the chameleon, and are more closely related to the iguana. Anoles are small lizards that are adapted for climbing trees, shrubs, fences, and walls. They are frequently seen basking in the sun or hunting insects around homes. Male anoles have a large throat fan that is often displayed, along with "push-ups" and head bobbing behaviors when they court or defend territories. The only Florida native anole is the green anole. It is five to eight inches long and can change from green to brown. It can be distinguished from exotic anoles by its long pointed snout and the pinkish throat fan (on males).

86. Solomon Islands Tree Skink The skin of the Prehensiletailed skink is smoother and shinier thanany other lizards. Their scales are smooth, flat and overlapping. http://www.honoluluzoo.org/solomon_islands_tree_skink.htm

Home Tour Site Map News ... Calendar Solomon Islands Tree Skink SOLOMON ISLANDS PREHENSILE-TAILED TREE SKINK Look closely at the tail Scientific name: Corucia zebrata Family: Scincidae Order: Squamata Class: Reptilia PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: DISTRIBUTION and HABITAT: Corucia zebrata can be found mostly in the Solomon Islands. The Prehensile-tailed Skink is now distributed over the world through the pet trade. Corucia zebrata inhabit tropical rain forest. The preferred daytime temperature ranges between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit and 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit at night. BEHAVIOR: Skinks are shy and secretive and seldom stray far from their shelter. Most species adapt well to captivity. This skink is crepuscular and nocturnal. It hangs suspended from branches or hides in tree hollows during the day. DIET: The Solomon islands tree skink is almost exclusively herbivorous, eating fruits and vegetables, and rarely insects. REPRODUCTION and GROWTH: The Prehensile-tailed Skink is ovoviviparous. They have a relatively long gestation period, which last six to seven months. Female Prehensile-tailed Skinks give birth to one to two offspring at a time. The young stays in close association with the parent although the parent does not directly protect the babies. The presence of the adult skink deters some predators like raptors, boas, rates and shrews, which prey the young. The young skink is able to live independently and they forage for their own food at a very young age. Wild Population:

WILDLIFE IN CONNECTICUT ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SPECIES SERIES FIVE-LINED SKINK Eumeces fasciatus T H R E A T E N E D T H R E A T E N E D Habitat: Steep, rocky areas, with patchy tree and shrub cover, rotten logs and leaf litter, that are usually adjacent to moist deciduous forests. Weight: 0.1-0.35 ounces. Length: 5-8.5 inches. Life Expectancy: At least 6 years of age. Food: Insects (crickets, flies, grasshoppers, grubs, beetles, ants), snails, and spiders. Status: State threatened. Identification: Five-lined skinks are smooth, shiny lizards with rows of tiny scales around the center of their body. The coloration is highly variable, depending on the age and sex of the skink. Young skinks have five white or yellowish stripes on a blackish body and a bright blue tail. As the skinks grow older and larger, the pattern becomes less conspicuous; the stripes darken, the black body lightens, and the tail turns gray. Females usually retain some of the striped pattern; the broad dark band along the side of the body remains prominent. Adult males usually show traces of stripes, but tend to become nearly uniform brown or olive in coloration. Orange-red appears on the head and jaws of the males during the spring breeding season.

A bit about Australia SNAKES SNAKES TURTLES colubrids pythons elapids sea file blind turtles LIZARDS CROCS agamids geckos legless monitors skinks crocs These pages are a joint effort between John Hollister of Texas, USA and John Fowler of South Australia. Both of us have many years experience as avocational herpers. Over the years both of us have kept many species of herps and have taken many pictures. Most of the pictures are supplied by John Fowler, the pages were designed and built by John Hollister. Many of the pages are/will be written by us. Help wanted! If you feel qualified to write up a species that is not yet done or have pictures to contribute, please go here to see what we are looking for in the way of help. Many herpers dream of going to Oz to see their amazing reptiles but will never get the chance to do so. Finding good pictures and information on Australian herps is a tedious chore; we hope to make this chore a lot easier by providing as much basic information and as many pictures as we can on one site. We want to make this the only stop necessary for Australian reptiles and reptile links. Our thanks and credits to others have contributed to making these pages the ULTIMATE Australian reptile site.

Sitemap List of birds on this site List of plants on this site List of animals on this site My homepage Mangrove Skink Emoia atrocostata Tide Pool Skink These handsome shiny bronzey lizards are active during the day and can often be spotted sunning themselves on a hot day on branches or mud lobster mounds. When alarmed, they quickly slip away. Skinks belong to the lizard family but unlike lizards, are covered with smooth, overlapping scales, and don't have obvious necks. However, like some other lizards, skinks drop their tails to distract predators (autotomy), and can regrow them. The new tail, however, is not as nice and is supported by cartilage instead of bone. Mangrove and wetland wildlife at Sungei Buloh Nature Park Main features: Relatively slender, small (26cm), large scales, long limbs. Emoia skinks have a moveable lower eyelid which is clear.

97. Lizard Traps, Lizard Traps, LIZARD TRAPS, Lizard Control Lizard PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Lizard traps are used as a mechanical device to trap nuisancelizards. TARGET PESTS lizards, other small reptiles and amphibians. http://www.bugspray.com/catalog/products/page99.html

LIZARD GLUE TRAPS PRODUCT NAME: Lizard Glue Traps. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Lizard traps are used as a mechanical device to trap nuisance lizards. They are placed in the pathways where lizards are suspected to travel. When a lizard walks on it, they get stuck and cannot escape. The lizards can then be removed with the use of oil and released unharmed or destroyed as situations warrant. These traps utilize a roach pheromone or lure which works as an attractant since lizards will readily forage and feed on roaches. The scent, undetectable by people but easily sensed by lizards, will lure targeted lizards to the trap and once inside, they will get stuck. They also feature a self mounting glue strip on their bottom making them mountable on walls and surfaces to better locate them where lizards like to forage. TARGET PESTS: Lizards, other small reptiles and amphibians. These same traps will also work on mice which like to eat roaches as well. WHERE TO USE THEM: In the home or any building where lizard activity is noted. Simply set them out along the baseboard, countertop, shelf, floor, bookcase or any other area where you are seeing unwanted lizards. The glue and pheromone are completely harmless to people and pets so there is no hazard associated with their use in food areas, closets, bedrooms and living rooms. RATE OF APPLICATION: Each board is large enough to catch most any average sized lizard. However, it can be broken up into three small boards if the targeted population is small. Each board comes with two rows of perforations so that it can be broken up to three equal sized smaller traps. Generally, one board will be able to catch 2-4 lizards depending on the target size. Traps should be replaced once every 2 months or sooner if they get filled. The key to using these traps effectively is to make sure to have enough set out and to make sure you have enough of the lure in place.

98. Lizards Of South Florida Part I: Native Species Skinks are among the few lizards to demonstrate any parental care. The female skinkwill guard her eggs after laying them, sometimes remaining coiled around http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/BODY_UW061

Lizards of South Florida Part I: Native Species Carrie M. Sekerak and Frank J. Mazzotti Background Lizards make up one of the most diverse and successful groups of modern reptiles. They occur in an incredible variety of habitats and, through evolution, have undergone physical changes that adapt them to their environment. These adaptations allow different species of lizard to live in mountains, deserts, oceans, and forests. Some withstand the scorching sun along the equator, while others survive the arctic freeze. Their bodies may be adapted to climb trees, glide through the air, dive to the ocean floor, burrow in the soil, or race along the ground. Too often lizards have been overlooked as valuable contributors to the environment. The lizards of south Florida feed mostly on insects and other small invertebrates, making them economically important to man as natural pest controls. More important still is their ecological role as predators and prey. The survival of many larger lizards, birds, mammals, and snakes is dependent on the availability of lizards as food. They are an essential element in the balance of nature. Today, lizards, as well as many other types of wildlife, are rapidly disappearing from areas where they were once abundant. Land development, pollution, indiscriminate and accidental killing, and the introduction of non-native animals and plants are all factors in their decline. The disappearance of some animal populations is caused by habitat loss. Another problem our native lizards must face is the potential for competition from non-native species. Non-native lizards are defined as those accidentally or deliberately introduced by man to south Florida's subtropical environment.
