I don't see many lizards in Washington, though I do see them more when I'm on the east side of the mountains. Last month's tracking intensive was on the west side, but we saw a fence lizard. This month we were on the east side I saw a few more lizards.
Somebody caught this western skink. I'm not sure I've ever seen a skink before. Apparently they have bright blue tails when they are young.
I think this is a western fence lizard.

I wasn't looking for anything in particular. Just seeing what I would see. One of the lizards is a skink, the other is a fence lizard. I'm not sure if they lose their tail. Do you suppose you could look that up for me?
the lizards look a lot like skink i woched it on tv and the peple ho were treing to cechethe yung. had blue tais and lose that tail
Thanks for letting me know about that Rowan. I guess this skink might lose its tail too then.
your welckum .
the lizard is called a western fence they have blue stomachs and LOVE the sun they normally live in wood piles say if you live in eastern washington if you have a wood pile that is in the sun if it is hot out you should more than likely have a western fence lizard or locally known as a (blue belly) sitting there laying in the sun..... I live in eastern washington i have been around them as long as i can remember
