I have bred them before. Eggs are tiny. Laid 1-3 per clutch. Usually two. Incubate around 28C. Hatchlings need newborn crickets, or regular size fruitflies. I let crickets lay eggs in shoeboxes of vermiculite. Moved crickets everday to new box. Just before cricket eggs hatched I would move the hatchling skinks into the shoe box of egg laden vermiculite. Within a day or two they would have hundreds of food items. Keep humidity high. Temps in the low 80s on warm side and mid 70s on cool side.

Cute little guys, but with their small body mass, not very forgiving of low humidity or lack of small food items.

Good luck,

James Bryan
