@UngulateNerd92 Skinks and DeKay Snakes are incredibly common around where I live in the Piedmont. Other common reptiles around here are black rat snakes, green anoles, fence lizards, box turtles, yellow-bellied sliders, snapping turtles, copperheads, king snakes, water snakes, worm snakes, and the occasional timber rattlesnake.
@Breckenridge super cool, thank you for sharing these. I know that this is slightly off topic, but have you visited the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science in Raleigh? I ask because they have extensive herpetology collections there.
