It is a Schneider Skink, and rather skinny at that. Yes it needs UVB, and a warm basking site. They do well on sand substrate with a moist hide area. They eat everything, from insects like crickets, meal worms, roaches, and vegies and fruit. There are some good sites online, posted earlier on this site.
These are great animals, hope you enjoy it!
