I was a petland and they had lots of skinks,monkey tailed,blue tongue,crocodile eyed and FIRE skinks.I live in Canada and the price of a fire skink is 64.44,but i know a pet store that keeps there reptiles in the best of shape.When this petstore orders reptiles they studie them first.
1.How big of a tank does a fire skink need?
2.What do the eat?
3.How big do they grow?
4.How tame are they?
Hello I live in Canada to were are you. any why I have 8 fire skinks did have 12 but sold some Most I have breed.
But for care they are pretty esay
1 or 2 can live in a 20g long tank. with damp bark and some moss with live plants is what I use o plus a few hidding spots and it works well.
Also for heat I have a under tank heater plus uv lights for th plants.
>>4.How tame are they?
Well everything I've ever heard or read about fire skinks is that they are unhandelable. They will squirm and bite. But, my fire skink (I only have one) is perfectly tame and tolerates handling no problem. However, I took him to the vet the other day and he took a big chunk out of the vet's finger. I laughed a lot but the Dr. didn't think it was that funny. Anyway, I think all animals are tame. You just have to handle them right. Build trust.
