This is a species that we met up in Wisconsin and still get to enjoy in Arkansas.
The Prairie Skink (Plestiodon septentrionalis) is an interesting skink variety. I know that this one is a male by the rusty-orange colored throat. These are another very quick lizard, but I was able to photograph him pretty well by using a few tricks.

Did you know that lizards can get ticks, just like humans can? (not a joke)
