    Red-eye Croc Skink
    Anyone have experience keeping red-eye crocodile skinks? I just got the little buddy yesterday, and I've been doing a lot of research prior to picking it up, but I'm hesitant to believe most web articles and care sheets, especially on a species that isn't as common in captivity as, say, my cresties.

    Here's what I know:
    1. Mostly crepuscular
    2. Needs high humidity/moist substrate
    3. Temp range of roughly 73-80 F, 73 being a nighttime low
    4. Burrowers, and enjoy leaf litter. More hides counter-intuitively can mean more sightings
    5. Like soaking/maybe even a swim
    6. Offer 2-3 food items a day.

    My question is mainly on lighting. Do they need a basking lamp? Or a low watt day lamp? I've heard mixed things about lighting.
