I am almost 100% sure that I've seen some (actually, plenty) of them here in Japan. Can someone assert that, or, if I'm wrong, point me to other species I might confuse it with? -- 222.1.132.76 12:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Habitat: I'm positive I saw one juvenile yesterday in Eastern Big Bear City California, in my front yard! I have lived here many years and am familiar with the 2 main lizard types we have here, "bluebellies" and "alligator" lizards. This was really special to see! I tried to get a photo but he was gone darn it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C51:427F:D810:10AB:353F:5036:A7E6 ( talk) 14:53, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
There should be a picture of an adult skink on the page, as they look quite different from the juvenile.
posious
are they posious???
I came to this page looking for information about the effects that this lizard has on cats when eaten. Oddly, I can seem to find no scientific information about this, though it seems to be well known that eating a skink can cause neurological damage in cats. If anyone has any links to any scientific data, please post it. In the meantime, I'll keep looking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.192.130.124 ( talk) 22:10, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
The section on captive care stood out for me somehow. (Writing teacher senses? Maybe.) So I Googled.
Oh dear, I thought. It's word-for-word from The Illustrated Encyclopedia of North American Reptiles and Amphibians: An Essential Guide To Reptiles and Amphibians Of USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Oh dear, plagiarism. Nope, then I checked the dates. The passage has been in this article since May 2006 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Plestiodon_fasciatus&oldid=51138764). The date on the eBook is 2010. Hmm. Now I am not quite so sure who is plagiarizing whom! 71.171.18.119 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:39, 3 July 2011 (UTC).
Ok, funny story. Very funny - (I'm still laughing.) Outside in the yard, I reached down to try to catch one (here in MI) and it scurried between my legs. They are FAST! I turned around to look for it and it was gone. I didn't notice it until hours later, when I felt something crawling around my belt line. I unbuckled my pants and out it scurried - inside the house! How can I catch it before it dies of starvation or dehydration? I like the little guy! -- 71.82.65.193 ( talk) 23:41, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Eumecesfasciatus.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 14, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-01-14. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! — howcheng { chat} 11:02, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Comment: Nowhere do I see any discussion as to the diet of this lizard. Would be helpful information for those who might want to keep one in captivity, rather than just say: "require minimum care." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.249.12.189 ( talk) 17:20, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
I am pretty sure that this picture does not show a skink with ITS eggs, but rather eggs that it is busy sizig up with a view to feeding on them. There is no way that eggs this size could come out of its cloaca. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia ( talk) 16:00, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
What's some of the reasons they die?

I saw one yesterday in my front yard in Eastern Big Bear City Ca. I'm certain of this after seeing pictures of the juvenile! 2600:6C51:427F:D810:10AB:353F:5036:A7E6 ( talk) 14:47, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
