The adult females have the same pattern, but it is less distinct, and they lose the blue on the tail. JSTOR 3890059.When young, the Skink has five lengthwise stripes on a black background.

The six-lined racerunner is listed as a species of concern in the state of Michigan, due to its limited population but otherwise holds no official conservation status. Prairie racerunner, Aspidoscelis sexlineatus viridis Lowe, 1966.Texas yellow-headed racerunner, Aspidoscelis sexlineatus stephensae Trauth, 1992.Eastern six-lined racerunner, Aspidoscelis sexlineatus sexlineatus ( Linnaeus, 1766).There are three recognized subspecies of A. They will predate upon spiders, grasshoppers, and large insects 3. Males will also perform an act termed 'female tending' where the male will repeatedly charge at a female trying to leave its burrow until the female allows for the male to approach and begin the reproductive process. This act entails the male rubbing its cloaca and pelvic region on the ground while simultaneously moving forward. Males have been seen to perform an act termed 'cloacal rubbing' to show arousal during breeding. A second clutch of eggs may be laid several weeks after the first. Reproduction Д«reeding takes place in the spring and early summer, with up to six eggs being laid in mid-summer and hatching six to eight weeks later. In the lower elevations, the six-lined racerunner can be found in human-made disturbances like under voltage towers or along highways and railroads. It prefers lower elevations, with dry loamy soils. Populations have also been found abundantly in areas that experience frequent fires. sexlineata is found in a wide variety of habitats including grasslands, woodlands, open floodplains, or rocky outcroppings. Aggressive behavior is common, as the dominant will chase the subordinate and often follow up with a bite to signify dominance. They are wary, energetic, and fast moving, with speeds of up to 18В mph (29 kmh), darting for cover if approached. sexlineata are spiders (Araneae 16.8%), grasshoppers (orthoptera 16.8%), and leaf hoppers (Homoptera 14.1%). Like other species of whiptail lizards, the six-lined racerunner is diurnal and insectivorous. They are slender-bodied, with a tail nearly twice the body length. Males also sometimes have a pale green-colored throat. The underside is usually white in color on females, and a pale blue in males. The six-lined racerunner is typically dark green, brown, or black in color, with six yellow or green-yellow stripes that extend down the body from head to tail.
