Last year I completed an animal care course at college, ready for my career, and part of the course was with exotics. This is where I first met a pink tongued skink, well four of them actually. I absolutely loved them, I did almost all of my assignments on them and was always the one looking after them.
Since then I have wanted a skink and did set my heart on a pink tongue however, the only ones I have managed to find in the uk are more expensive than expected and I cannot afford one. 
Next I thought about a blue tongue but they are twice the size and a bit big for me to begin with.
However, I have now found a uk based site www.exotic-pets.co.uk that breed and sell a few different types of skinks. What I would like to know is are any of them the same as pink tongues, what I mean is do any of them eat the same things and live in the same type of habitat. If so I already know how to look after them, if not I will need to find out how to look after them.
The skinks I am possibly interested in are:
Asian sun skink (Mabuya Macularia)
Olive tree skink (Dasia Olivacea)
Rainbow skink (Mabuya Margaritifer)
True fire skink (Lygosoma Fernandi)
Any help would be gratefully received
