Thanks Ashley! I think I can rule out the broad head. I'm thinking five lined but I didn't get that close a look at the underside or lip scales.

This can be either the Broadhead Skink, the Five-lined Skink, or the Southeastern Five-lined Skink, but from these pictures you can't tell them all apart. You can look at the link I provided for more information.
