    Yes they do and it hurts.

    Skinks?? You mean the lizards? Sure they bite,but at least they are not poisonous.

    It's pinchy. It hurts less than a really angry budgie.

    See this link about the skink>>>http://www.wikihow.com/Care-for-a-Skink

    Skunks bite.and they may carry rabies. If you are bitten by one you have a narrow time window  in which you can/should  be treated.

    I think she means "Skinks",as in "Skink Lizards".Common,harmless little reptiles.

    I have handled lizards over the years. A Skink has a pinchy bite. They do let go. A Tokay Gekko however, will not and will hang on for days... that really (place the blank here!) hurts.
    I have never heard of a lizard carrying rabies. It never came up in 30 years. Now I am concerned and will have to look this up.

    No need to worry Fishlet; I thought the asker misspelled the word skunk because I've never heard of skinks; I was wrong :( Read again my answer and the comments that it generated...
