What's living in my garage?

[NoHall]

Yuck, yuck and yuck. We had a legless lizard in our front yard a few months ago. Our neighbor said it was a "skank" but I was later corrected on there that it was a "skink." Actually, it was neither, as it looked like a snake but wasn't. http://kaweahoaks.com/html/lizard_legless.htm

I think I have a skank living in my house...

oh no! not that!!

Definitely a skink. I've got one or two living in my garage, haven't figured out how to get rid of them. There are several more around the yard as well.

Why would you want to get rid of them? They eat bugs and spiders. Sweep up the poo when you need to and enjoy nature's pest control service!

I don't want them in the garage. Out in the yard is fine. Poo and all. One of them got stuck in the coils of my freezer and, uh, fried. So the way I see it, my garage is a dangerous environment for them. Not to mention the poo, which sticks to the floor. Need a scraper rather than a broom.

I wish they'd eat red ants. My yard is full of 'em.

I saw her (we've named her Quiche Lorraine) about 10" head to tail. Looked like this:

With a length of 10" and still having a blue tail....I would rename it a male.

Yeah, but if you just refer to the B-52s, it will make it alright, be it male or female!

Now, Exactly what family do skinks and skanks and skunkys belong to? I need to know if they are welcome at my house!
