It is found in lower elevations in Anza Borrego State Park and San Diego County CA. Amphibians and Reptiles of the Anza-Borrego Desert Region: A Photographic Field Guide, L. Lee Grismer and Marta S. Grismer, 2024, p.75, fig. 72,73,74 Western Skink (Plestiodon skiltonianus), a.k.a Coronado Skink is a small lizard with a long thin body reaching up to 6 inches in length. In adults, the body is dark brown with two wide, pale-colored, stripes running from the nose to beyond the base of the tail. Hatchlings and juveniles have bright blue tails. They are active early spring through early fall. Coronado skinks are generally restricted to the cooler upper elevations and are especially common in moist habitats of wooded and chaparral areas where they take refuge beneath rocks and logs. Although those skinks are common and forge during the day, they are secretive and are rarely seen out in the open. They eat a variety of small insects. Mating takes place during the spring and females lay up to 6 eggs from early summer through early fall. Hatchlings emerge from late summer to early fall and females may guard the eggs until they hatch. Males develop orange jaw coloration on the jaws during the reproductive season.ΓÇ¥ Amphibians and Reptiles of the Anza-Borrego Desert Region: A Photographic Field Guide, L. Lee Grismer and Marta S.

It eats mostly spiders and beetles. Young Western Skinks have a bright blue tail that fades in brightness with age. Skinks can perform autotomy; if seized by a predator the tail is deliberately cast off and continues to wriggle to attract predator attention while the lizard escapes. The tail will grow back with time but is often darker in color and mis-shapen.

Occurrence Remarks: My favorite Western Skink (Plestiodon skiltonianus) observations: Adult: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/132364027 Juvenile with bright blue tail that is more than half the length of its body: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/110869959 Western Skink (Plestiodon skiltonianus) is a small, diurnal, long-tailed, smooth-scaled lizard in the Toothy Skinks (Plestiodon) genus and the Skinks (Scincidae) family. It eats mostly spiders and beetles. Young Western Skinks have a bright blue tail that fades in brightness with age. Skinks can perform autotomy; if seized by a predator the tail is deliberately cast off and continues to wriggle to attract predator attention while the lizard escapes. The tail will grow back with time but is often darker in color and mis-shapen. Amphibians and Reptiles of California: and HerpMapper: https://www.herpmapper.org/taxon/Plestiodon_skiltonianus Reptile Database (worldwide): Irenes Skinks (Scincidae) family observations on INaturalist, worldwide: Skinks (Scincidae) family is one of the largest and most diverse lizard families that includes over 1,500 described species across more than 100 genera. Skinks are found worldwide except in polar and very high-altitude regions, with greatest diversity in Southeast Asia, Australia, and Africa. Diagnostic field traits include smooth shiny scales, small or absent limbs, tail autotomy, and cylindrical bodies with indistinct necks. They are characterized by smooth, shiny, overlapping scales, cylindrical bodies, small or reduced limbs (sometimes absent), and long, tapering tails often capable of autotomy (shedding and regeneration). Bodies are cylindrical and elongate with smooth, shiny scales. Limbs vary from well-developed to reduced or absent, and digits may be reduced in number. Heads are conical and not strongly distinct from the neck. Many burrowing species have transparent scales (ΓÇ£spectaclesΓÇ¥) instead of movable eyelids, and eardrums may be recessed or covered by scales. Tails are long and tapering are are often more than half the body length. Most species can shed and regenerate the tail. Scales are underlain by osteoderms, giving a rigid, armor-like feel. Skull bones are heavily ossified, aiding burrowing. Habitats range from deserts and forests to grasslands, rocky areas, and semi-aquatic environments. Diets are primarily insectivorous, though some larger species are omnivorous or herbivorous. Reproduction includes both oviparous and viviparous strategies, with some species showing parental care (notably Corucia zebrata).

GBIFID: 3415864953; Occurrence Remarks: I believe this is the western skink (Plestiodon skiltonianus). I carefully rescued this little guy (photos 1,2) from a gutter he could not climb out of and like so many other small critters was almost certainly destined for the storm drain much like several baby California Valley Quail chicks I rescued a few years back that fell right through those dangerous grates. Please avoid handling these little guys unless it is indeed for rescue purposes as the pretty tails come off so easily and yes they do eventually grow back but not always to their full length and gradual taper. These are very young Western Skinks as you can tell by the intense blue color. Adults I have seen tend to retain just a small amount of blue on them. The third photo was one that was ΓÇ£hidingΓÇ¥ under some decaying oak leaves which is where I often spot them.

It is about 4 to 8.25 inches long (body + tail). They eat mostly spiders and beetles. Western skinks will bite if grasped and will flee if they feel threatened. This species is widespread in northern California, but is primarily restricted to the coast in central and southern California. Tail: Young western skinks have a bright blue tail with color that fades with age. Skinks can perform autotomy; if seized by a predator its tail is deliberately cast off and continues to wriggle to attract predator attention while the lizard escapes. The tail will grow back with time but is often darker in color and mis-shapen.

GBIFID: 5104449672; Occurrence Remarks: ADULT Western Skink found in maritime chaparral habitat in Fort Ord National Monument, CA. Photo credit: Anne Skinlo. My favorite Western Skink (Plestiodon skiltonianus) observations: Adult: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/132364027 Juvenile with bright blue tail that is more than half the length of its body: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/110869959 Western Skink (Plestiodon skiltonianus) is a small, diurnal, long-tailed, smooth-scaled lizard in the Toothy Skinks (Plestiodon) genus and the Skinks (Scincidae) family. It is about 4 to 8.25 inches long (body + tail). They eat mostly spiders and beetles. Western skinks will bite if grasped and will flee if they feel threatened. This species is widespread in northern California, but is primarily restricted to the coast in central and southern California. Tail: Young western skinks have a bright blue tail with color that fades with age. Skinks can perform autotomy; if seized by a predator its tail is deliberately cast off and continues to wriggle to attract predator attention while the lizard escapes. The tail will grow back with time but is often darker in color and mis-shapen.

Occurrence Remarks: Turning one of the beds with a shovel at the farm, I unearthed this skink that was maybe 6ΓÇ¥ or so below the soil. Luckily I didnΓÇÖt accidentally cut it when I dug in with the shovel. Maybe they were hibernating or keeping warm there? It was squirming around quite a bit at first, maybe because it was startled or in pain. After that it seemed dazed and wasnΓÇÖt burrowing back in so I put some dry dirt around it and a big mushroom over the hole and it eventually burrowed back into the dirt.; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 24.00000.

Still, I havent seen any western skinks in the area with this morphology and coloration, but if it is indeed a Gilberts skink, Ill make an additional observation for it.
