MAYBE. No-one can answer that on the forum. It depends on the size of the skink, the size and shape of the piece of bark, and many more variables. Your skink may pass the piece of bark and be fine and never notice, he may have some discomfort and pass it and be fine, he could block and need veterinary care, he could even die.
If your animal is eating substrate along with his food- you need to change the type of substrate or don't feed him in his enclosure.
