Salamander? If so what type? -- broadhead skink (Plestiodon laticeps)

I've seem MANY other pictures of salamanders, but none have a longer snout like this one. There were three of these salamanders(?) found in Livingston ... Deep East Texas. Can ANYONE help me find out what type of salamander this is, if it is one at all.

=========
The broad-headed skink or broadhead skink (Plestiodon laticeps) is species of lizard, endemic to the southeastern United States. The broad-headed skink gets its name from the wide jaws, giving the head a triangular appearance. Adult males are brown or olive brown in color and have bright orange heads during the mating season in spring. Female broad-headed skinks have five light stripes running down the back and the tail. Order: Squamata > Family: Scincidae > Genus: Plestiodon > Species: Plestiodon laticeps

I thinks it's a kind of skink... (maybe a broadhead skink?)
Check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Texas_reptiles for the list of reptiles in your area.
Hope this helps.
