My brother has a croc skink. They are a very easy lizard to care for but are extremely shy and you don't see them out much. They like it nice and humid, a water bowl to soak in, room tempature to a little warmer, lots of places to hide, and they like crickets, meal worms, earth worms, fish, and occasionly fruit. You can easily house 1 in a ten gallon. Very easy to house and keep. They are also pretty vocal. Good luck with your and love to see some pictures!

thank you for your info. If I get the croc skink I will post pics. Also can your brother handle his croc skink?

They are reluctant to bite and when not used being handled will either play dead, run, or most of the time chirp, scream, squeak, and click at you. They aren't that fast though and are pretty handable but again are very shy by nature.
