After 5 years of trying, I have a gravid Schnider Skink..and very excited. BUT I can't seem to find information on how to incubate them..or even the gestation lenght. I know these are hardly ever bred in captivity, but there has to be someone who has tried.

I have separated the female to her own enclosure..given her a nest box with vermiculite. And she is being fed everything she wants..spoiled little bugger..

Questions...

What temps do I incubate the eggs? Is the sex determined on the temp?
What medium do I use? are they are dry incubation like some uros or moist like leopard gecko??
How long do they incubate??
and..what else should I know before the eggs get here??? yes, I am counting my eggs before they are even laid....but it is so cool!

thanks in advance to anyone who answers this!
