After deciding between getting a Ball Python, Corn Snake, Leopard Gecko or Crested Gecko, I've decided to get a Blue Tongue Skink. I am currently doing loads of research on them and their care. I'm not buying my future Skink out of impulse. I probably won't be getting my BTS until around July or August of this year so that gives me more than enough time to do a lot of research.

Could someone make a list of everything I will need for my BTS? Also, would a 36 x 18 x 18 enclosure be ok for a BTS? I read on bluetongueskinks.net that its best to get an adult sized enclosure so that way, you won't have to switch tanks as the Skink grows.
