Eumeces fasciatus

Five –lined Skinks are found near Lake George and in the Hudson Valley (mostly west of the river). Young and female skinks have blue tails, while males fade to brown. Five-lined skinks feed mostly on insects and other invertebrates, although larger individuals may be able to take small mammals.
