After a moment of thinking "Bright = Poisonous", I went online and found out that this is a "blue-tailed skink". After finding "blue-tailed skink", I had to google "skink" as I didn't know what skinks were. Amphibians? Reptiles? There aren't any skinks where I grew up in Arizona.
Eventually I found out that he's a harmless little lizard that likes living in leaf litter. Formal name of Plestiodon skiltonianus skiltonianus or Skilton's Skink.
We took some pictures and released the guy where we found him.
