Is My tank big enough?

skinkgirl Jan 18, 2004 12:07 PM

My Schneider's skink is currently housed in a 20-25(I'm not sure which) tank. Is this big enough? If it isn't I have a problem becouse I do not have enough money(I'm only twelve-no allowance) to buy a bigger one. But tell me anyway if it is to small please.

ive got 2 adults in a 20, and they have more space then they need, but i keep all the babies seperately in a 10 gallon, until they are old enough for me to let people adopt them.

since you only have one, a 20-25 gallon may be excelent but when my first skink was in a really big space when i first got him he freaked out, until i got him a roomate, but that may have just been mine.

Phew thanks alot! I makes me feel a whole lot better to hear that someone else is useing the same size tank. I was reading care sheets online and they said like 50 gallon tank! But I guess thats becuase all those people have like 5 skinks in it.
