  1. It's a usable photo, Leslie, and I'm very happy you shared it, a very welcome species intro. Posted 9 years ago
  2. The blue-tailed is native to Australia's Christmas Island. The species found in North America are from the genus ''Plestiodon''. There are a few similar species in Virginia so I am not sure which one this is.
