I think one has to actually check out the scales for a positive ID in some cases. It's possible this may be another type but I have always known it as a common 5-lined skink. Even though we are in the range of the broadhead skinks I don't see many of the prominent males around here. I think they are more common in the coastal plains region just south of us. <BR/><BR/>And most of these that I see are near places that remain wet or moist all the time. The tree that this one was on is on the bank of a small stream. I understand the common 5-lined skink is more partial to a moist environment while the southeastern may prefer a somewhat drier habitat. <BR/><BR/>Michelle - We see the snakes from time to time also. I'll have to post a few pics one of these days.<BR/><BR/>Sandy C. - Thanks for dropping by - It's always a pleasure to have you visit<BR/><BR/>About the rabbits - I think people see them in suburban type settings more often than we do. With all the woods and brush around here there are just so many places they can stay hidden from view. Often the suburban type settings with yards/flowers/gardens provide a choice feeding ground for them, particularly if they have a good place to retreat to. I think most of the ones seen around here are the regular visitors to someone's flowerbed or garden just like in towns.Baker Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431580638031405772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887611572204446516.post-32152430143533396942008-09-23T22:55:00.000-04:002008-09-23T22:55:00.000-04:00Wow!

But I never can remember how to tell whether they're Southeastern or Common five-lined or Broadheads.<BR/><BR/>No shortage of rabbit sightings in our yard. Half the time, they don't even bother to hide anymore. Even so, I still enjoy them, when they're not eating my garden. 8-}SophieMaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396958301555933308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887611572204446516.post-38137528104786905802008-09-23T14:43:00.000-04:002008-09-23T14:43:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing Baker.
