Red-Eyed Skink / Armored Skink

abbyn Nov 14, 2005 08:41 PM

My petstore has one of these (it's been there for at least 6 months, maybe longer, nobody has bought it). I can't find much information about these, such as care sheets or anything. Does anybody keep these or have any info about them? Maybe another name thier known as so I can look them up?

Thanks much!

Crocodile skinks make great pets.Their cage requirements are very easy.Very similar to leo geckos.The only difference is that they need a huge bowl of shallow water, around 50% of the cage.But as they are crepuscular they need UVB lights at least a few hours a day.

thats a great site. My knowlegde of them is that u need a substrate that holds in humidity, alot of hiding areas, big bowl of shallow water to swim in, uv during the day and u can use a red buld for basking about 60 watts, they eat nightcrawlers sometimes, fish soetimes crickets, mealworms and i heard some eat fruit or vegetables(u could try it). well idk what else so that should b good for now.
