So today at the pet store that I work at, I was informed that if nobody took home this blue-tailed skink that it would be 'euthanized'. I thought about it all day, and at the end of the day when nobody else took it, I did. I know it's irresponsible to just take on a reptile, but I just couldn't stand the thought of the poor thing being killed because the other one took its tail off. (Which will grow back anyway, right?)
I have experience with snakes, but nothing with lizards of any sort...so I need some help. I'm determined to put in whatever it takes to give this guy a good life. So please..any caresheets/advice/yelling at me for being irresponsible would be greatly appreciated. I see a lot of info on the Blue-Tongue Skink, but it definitely looks like a different lizard. (The other name for the blue-tailed is five-lined, right?)

Thanks in advance for the help! (Please dont be too harsh on me for doing this..I just didn't want him to be killed...)
