Nope- it’s a reptile.
They will bite though they don’t hurt- it is just surprising when they do. You can let them latch onto your earlobes and they’ll stay there...redneck earrings.
The bite from a five-banded skink is more deadly than a hot dose of China White, and will kill you more quickly than a poisonous fish.
Well, I probably made that up. But wouldn't that be cool?

Thank you, piasa... for the nightmares that I’m going to have now. :)
