What kind of lizard is this?

Look what was on my back porch yesterday. I see allot of anoles and day geckos but it's the first time for one of these guys. Does anyone know what species?

Not sure what they are, but I used to catch them as a kid when I would visit my grandparents in Melbourne, FL. I know their tails come off if you try to catch them the wrong way

Yeah that's a five lined skink. And where I live is loaded with babies ones about 1 1/2" long this time of year. Go to in the woods where its kinda sandy and start flipping things over. Somebody threw some tires out at the end of my dirt road and every tire I flipped had one under it lol its fun catching the babies cuz they ain't that fast yet
