Are blue tailed skinks dangerous?

Question

they are too scared of people to be much trouble for us, but my friends dog like chasing them & I am worried if they bite her will it be dangerous or what if she EATS one would it be poisonous?

i KNOW the only venomous lizards are gila monster & komodo dragons but they might have big teeth for the size & I'm worried she would need stitches or something

Answer 1

No, they are not dangerous to your dog..but your dog is a danger to them.  Skinks don't really have teeth..more like serrations.  I have actually been bitten by one and could barely feel it.  They cannot even bite hard enough to break the skin. I did not even have a mark from it..it would probably not even be able to reach skin through a dogs coat..let alone break the skin if it WAS able to reach it.  

Answer 2

No, they are not dangerous except to small(tiny) insects.

Answer 3

No, it might be a little painful but it should not be enough to take the dog to the hospital for stitches! (Unless the dog is a complete wuss!) lol. Hope I could help!

Answer 4

They aren't poisonous so don't worry about it. Plenty of animals eat skinks.
