The Skinks has a sleek, often glossy body covered in smooth, overlapping scales, giving them a shiny appearance. They typically have short limbs and a long, tapering tail, differing from other lizards by their generally more streamlined, snake-like form. Colors vary widely, from earthy browns and grays to vibrant patterns or iridescent hues.
