    We have several different types of lizards in our yard. We've had them living in our garage and under our deck. We even had one in our basement last summer. That looks kind of smooth. Not sure if it's a skink or not. It looks like a salamander with that shiny skin. There's a lot of different types of salamanders. Look at wikipedia.

    Skinks are back already?! Wow, it has been a crazy spring with this weather, but I didn't think skinks would be out already.

    We often have blue tailed skinks in our yard. Haven't seen them yet this year, though.
