Coal Skink
Plestiodon anthracinus
Coal Skinks inhabit shaded deciduous forests, especially around logs, rocks, and deep leaf litter. They are secretive ground foragers that eat insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates. Adults often lose the juvenile's brighter tail pattern and rely on their dark coloration and rapid retreat into cover to avoid detection.
