Re: pickeral bonanza
Definitely a skink. I think the five-lined skink is the only species of lizard found in NJ. If not, it's one of the only ones. They have a blue tail that they shed when threatened. The tail keeps wiggling on the ground to distract the predator while the skink runs away. They grow back. I've seen a bunch in Passaic, Warren and Sussex County. Very fast and tough to photograph. Nice find.
