is a skink real? Or is it like a snipe? a "detachable" tail?

I may take it upon myself to one day get together all the appropriate references to update this myself, but this entry is no longer correct when it suggests that C. egeriae is common. It is critically endangered, confined to two remote and isolated populations, and is in imminent danger of extinction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.56.81.6 ( talk) 15:15, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
This should be at Blue-tailed skink. Skink is a common noun. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:36, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
The current image is of a five-lined skink (Plestiodon fasciatus) from the eastern United States, not C. egeriae. One AM ( talk) 02:14, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

@ Pvmoutside:, can you explain why you have changed "shining" to "shinning" in this article and Cryptoblepharus? I see "shining skink" in Naturalized Reptiles and Amphibians of the World, for instance. (Also, you deleted almost the entire article—can you please explain why? You didn't leave any notes in the comment field.) -- Phyzome ( talk) 11:56, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
I live near Atlanta GA, and we have a fair number of blue tailed skinks in the wild. The photo looks very similar to species I have observed, but maybe it's just a related species that is very close? I will see if I can snap a photo when it gets warmer for reference. 2603:9001:6A04:A23:62E4:6175:C29B:E233 ( talk) 15:07, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
