🦎 Five-lined skinks are found in most of the Eastern U.S.! They're commonly known as blue-tailed skinks, but only the juveniles have blue tails. As they mature their color changes and they get a bright red facial marking. The mothers take surprisingly loving care of their eggs and young, which increases likelyhood of their hatchlings' survival. Which color variation is your favorite? 🦎💕 #skink #lizard #lizards #herpetology #illustration #artistsoninstagram #cartoon #drawing #gouache #painting #paint #scalesforlife #artbois #drawtists #inspo #southernpride (at Glendale, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvZx8-Pns_t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jzha06vgpuhl
