What kind of lizard is black with two yellow stripes down its back?

Question

The lizard is sm/med size. I live in Northwest Georgia. I always see green lizards or the brown ones around here but this one was spotted in our basement, that we fequently use. I barely got close enough but he run away...and fast...faster than those green ones.

Answer 1

The lizard cannot be identified by that simple description alone, although it may be some type of skink.

You should look in a field guide for your area, or post a CLEAR photo with locality data.

Answer 2

There are over 8,000 species of lizards in the world. At least tell where you live.

Answer 3

Well, it could be a few. It depends on where you found it, how big/small it is, what it looks like... It may be just a skink, or a gecko, or anything like that. If you have it, then I'd go the the library and check out a reptile guide, and see if there's a picture of it in there.

Answer 4

sounds like a five lined skink or a racerunner but you need to be more descriptive so its easier to identify it as the correct species so i would reccomend you to google lizards native to your area and identify it yourself

Answer 5
