Agree. I also think it is something from skinks group. But I still have no idea what kind or even what family of this skink is..

The one on the left looks like a female Aruban whiptail. The guy on the right kind of looks like a darker colored fire skink.

I thought it looked like the pattern of a fire salamander, but I knew better than to say it was a fire salamander! Never heard of a fire skink, but if there is such a thing, that is most likely what it is :)

Definitely not a fire skink, fire skinks almost look like they are on fire. Lots of bright red colors all over. With this guy here I'm not certain what kind of skink it is. Definitely something I haven't seen before. Could possibly be a hybrid of some kind. I looked for a couple hours and couldn't find any skink that looked like that guy. Seen a few that had similar traits but nothing that fit the bill exactly.
