Anyone know of any good care sheets for the fire skink? and about how much do they average in price?

Try doing a google on the scientific name Riopa fernandi. They are usually cheap and wild caught. They are easy to care for and they tame easily, even WC adults. There are a few people selling captive bred fire skinks out there too. There's somebody on this forum that breeds them but I can't remember who. Although some people are turned off by their fossorial nature, (you'll almost never see them above the substrate), I highly recommend them as a pet. Feel free to e-mail if you have anymore questions.
