California is being invaded

[olds]

The wife and I were outside and saw a "lizard" with a bright blue tail.
I looked it up on google and it is a Five-lined Skink.
But, they aren't supposed to be in California:

"The range of the Five-lined Skink extends in the north to southern Ontario, the lower peninsula of Michigan and eastern New York. The western border is in Wisconsin, Missouri and eastern Kansas, Oklahoma, Florida and Texas. These skinks tend to be most abundant on the coastal plain in the southeastern United States and along the Gulf Coast."

That's a beautiful animal. You should collect them and sell them to tourists.

If he was talking about mexicans, I'd say this thread was about twenty years too late.

Do you want a stinky skanky skink in your pants?

Dr. Seuss could have fun with that.
A perverted Dr. Seuss could have even more fun.

Yes, but that wouldn't be news.

Maybe he's on vacation. Stop blocking his rays and get him another Corona.

Is there a such thing as a Mexican tourist in the states?

 

[spittledip]

Wow didn't know skinks lived as far north as Ontario! That is surprising.

 

[BAMAVOO]

They are all over TN as well. They are cool as they will drop their tail when running away.

From the wiki

Common predators include raccoons, red foxes, Virginia opossums, snakes, raptors, and domestic cats.

wtf... ?

Well, since a few of their natural predators aren't in California, I bet they'll have a population explosion.

I for one welcome my new Skink Overlords
