Strange Lizard!

We saw a strange lizard this evening when we took Quincy out for her walk.  There was a red/black lizard with 4 toes slithering down the sidewalk.  It was 45.9 degrees Fahrenheit out today according to the LaCrosse Technologies Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer.  Steve relocated the lizard to under the enclosed snowmobile trailer parked in the woods alongside the garage.  We have to get more familiar with our Reptile and Amphibian book to allow us to identify these lizards.  I think they might be skinks or salamanders, but I’m really not sure.  We didn’t get any pictures of this guy.
