Some species of skinks are quite small; Scincella lateralis typically ranges from 7.5 to 14.5 cm (3 to 5 + 3 ⁄ 4 in), more than half of which is the tail. [7] Most skinks, though, are medium-sized, with snout-to-vent lengths around 12 cm (4 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), although some grow larger; the Solomon Islands skink (Corucia zebrata) is the largest ...
Wilson’s wedge-snouted skinks are considered “medium-sized,” reaching about 5.6 inches in length, the study said. They have a “cylindrical” body, “long” tail and “wedge-shaped ...

Spiny-tailed Lizard These lizards like it hot, thriving in temperatures over 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Highly active, as their nickname suggests, this type of Uromastyx, comes with spiny tails.
The skink has a strong crushing jaw but the teeth are small and used for eating plant material. [11] Its prehensile tail helps it maneuver from branch to branch with ease and gives the skink its more common names: monkey-tailed skink, prehensile-tailed skink, or monkey skink. [4]
