Behaviour & Compatibility

Very shy display skink. Avoid routine handling and never keep rival males together; separate a stressed or bullied partner.

Feeding & Nutrition

Offer varied, appropriately sized gut-loaded live insects. Growing juveniles need small meals more frequently; adults generally need measured meals 2–3 times weekly, adjusted to body condition. Gut-load feeder insects and use calcium and a reptile multivitamin according to the product instructions and the animal’s UVB provision. Avoid overlapping vitamin D3 products; ask our reptile team to check the schedule for this animal. Keep fresh water available.

Routine Care

Check temperatures, humidity, appetite and behaviour daily. Replace drinking water and remove waste promptly. Clean bowls and contaminated furnishings regularly; monitor weight and shedding. Arrange advice from an exotics vet for persistent changes in appetite, breathing or movement.

Important Before Buying

Confirm the supplied animal’s current size and feeding routine, and have its enclosure ready before collection.
