Broadhead Skink

Copyright © Lewis Scharpf

Eumeces laticeps
Features that distinguish the broadhead from the five-lined skink follows:
1. Body scales smooth, shiny and overlapping. (That places them in the family Scincidae).
2. Frontal scale rectangle shaped; supranasal scales present; lower eyelid without transparent disk.
3. Eight or nine upper labials; no postlabial or if present one or two small postlabials, the sixth labial is the first to contact the orbit
