I am currently debating on a few herps to fill two empty tanks of mine. I still have to do some work on the old entertainment center but once done it can easily house aboreal herps. I was wondering what types of skink are larger and aboreal. Could I also see some pics of enclosures. Thanks Tyler

This is gonna sound silly - but what does aboreal mean? I'm thinking perhaps tree climbers?

The species name is Corucia zebrata and they are definitely arboreal . . . and expensive and not easy to care for.

I think there are more arboreal skinks, they're just not common in the pet trade.

Expensive, yes.
Difficult to care for....welllllll...I suppose that would depend on just how dedicated you are to your Corucia.

I don't find Dill to be difficult to care for, in fact she is considerably less difficult than my veiled chameleon...but at the same time, I am completely and totally devoted to both of them, and even though my cham is VERY labour intensive (he has to be hand fed and watered every day, as he won't hunt on his own) I don't resent the time or energy it takes to care for my scaled babies.

I only have the two lizards, perhaps if I had more I would find it more difficult to care for them.
