The Blue Tailed Skink

   The blue tailed skink is a reptile.  It lives mostly in North America. It is blue with one or two black stripes on its back. Like all skinks if a predator bites its tail, the tail will disconnect easily, but it will grow back eventually. Once we found a blue tailed skink in our living room.  I caught it though. After I had put it outside my mom found out that blue tailed skinks bite if threatened. Good thing I held it by the tail instead of the head. Though I'd be suprised if it ever needed to bite because when I put it outside it scampered away like lightning.
