ya i'm getting a fire skink in a few weeks. so any info would be appreciated

I keep my Riopa as a true pair in a terrarium around 42" x 21" x 21", with a mix of bark chips and coir (Ecoearth) for the substrate. Temps are in the 70's at the cool end up to 95 in the basking areas. I use a 60W reflector bulb on a thermostat for this, and a red bulb for night. I also think that a 5.0 UV (Reptiglo) is a good idea. I include live plants in pots, lots of cork shelters etc, and plastic hide boxes. Diet = insects and very occasional pink mice. I use mostly roaches, but also crickets, waxworms and morioworms.

Hope this helps,
Mark.
