Common Sun Skink Juvenile
Eutropis multifasciata (juvenile)
Juveniles range more widely through sunny ground cover, logs, stone piles, and the edges of fields or paths. They hunt small insects, larvae, and spiders during the day, pausing often to bask and raise their body temperature. Compared with hatchlings they make longer rushes between cover and are better at using cracks and vegetation to escape. Their bright, smooth scales and long tail help them slip rapidly through cluttered habitat.
