Curious about ground skinks....

Yea I know I posted a message about BTS info but I just got a question that just popped into my head. How do ground skinks fare in captivity? I think it must be tough because they're so small(they roam around my house) and just wanted to even know if it's possible to keep such tiny little things

Its funny though common there isnt a single site on them and books dont even cover them.
I think they are neat little skinks . From what I gather from reading old ground skink archives in this forum they are kept as 5 lined skinks but must have a damp area most use moss any type kept moist and slightly buried in the soil. Only two people had any interest in them so its not like to much care info.

If you keep them post how and how they are doing. I intend to set a few up in a woodland type set up this Summer.
