Ok Micro, help me out here

[SPEEDBEAD.]

I saw these running around the water's edge while out fishing last weekend.

I have absolutely no clue what they are. I thought they were some type of snake, but then soon realized that they had legs.

Any idea what it might be? I am in South Central PA for a reference.

[SPEEDBEAD.]

Here are two of them biting each other, maybe mating time?  

[slomoe]

looks like a skink

[ptomacbass]

They are Skinks.

[Micro]

Broad Head Skink to be precise.  

[bass wrangler569]

They are Skinks.

Yeah, we have some of those at my school...  ;D

punctuation would really make this a lot easier to read.

So would capitalization.

Just kidding!  ;D

Do you pause when you talk? A little punctuation can go a long way.

You have a point, BUT your not talkin, your posting

[fishinfiend]

They look like bait to me.  

[Gone_Phishin]

They look like bait to me.

Took the words out of my mouth.  The pike fisherman in me is salivating after seeing those things.

[SPEEDBEAD.]

No doubt man.  I tried to catch one for that exact purpose, but those little bastiches are fast.   ;D

Will be taking a minnow net with me next time.  

Thanks for the clarification fellas.  Skink was the initial guess, but I am not good with that stuff.

[1inStripes]

Just don't try to tail hook one if you catch it.

[Tin]

What the.... :-?
