Lizard Identification
In Tennessee, you can encounter eight distinct lizard species, and the most frequently spotted one is the Common Five-Lined Skink. These glossy lizards exhibit a wide range of color patterns. Adult males typically display a brown or olive hue, with their heads taking on a reddish or orange tint during the breeding season. Adult females, on the other hand, are predominantly brown with a more blue-gray tail. Both genders feature five white or yellow-like stripes that run along the length of their bodies. These skinks are primarily found in wooded areas, and they sustain themselves by consuming insects like crickets, termites, and beetles.
Problems and Damage
Lizards may at times stray into homes or other structures while seeking food and water, but their inherent inclination is to reside in outdoor settings. Lizards are generally not associated with causing harm to the structures of homes; their classification as pests is often more related to their somewhat intimidating appearance. Lizard infestations can occur in areas with favorable conditions, including an abundance of flies or the presence of fruit and flowering plants. Landscapes adorned with an abundance of leaves also make for ideal shelter spots for lizards.
