-they need a basking spot of 105 f

-they need a basking spot of 90 f



I provided my fire skink with a basking light before and he just never used it, prefered staying in his little tunnels he made in the dirt. I suggest using a UTH attatched to a rheostat or thermostat of some sort for heat since they spend most of their time under the substrate.



-they need UV light and will bask

- they do not need UV light and do not bask



Well as i said ^ they don't really bask much. But I use a UV in his tank.



-they are carnivores

-they are omnivores



They are carnivorous, I've tried feeding mine veggies once, didn't even pay attention to them at all and decided to go after crix, silkies etc.



-they are friendly and can be handled

-they are not friendly and cannot be handled



They are friendly and CAN be handled, but i hardly handle mine i just usually admire it for it's colors during those rare times that it's not burrowed under the substrate or while it's drinking.



-they need a minimum 20 long aquarium

- they need a minimum 3 foot long enclosure



You can fit one in a 20 gal long.



Hope this helps!
