Five-lined Skink
October 2014
I did an article about the Skink ecause I think the Skink is a very beautiful lizard. The article I read was about common names and captive behavior, also there habitat, and geographic range for the skink. Some of the information I learned from the creature is the skink is small to medium-sized, growing to about 4 to 8 inches in total. Also, the five-lined skink extends in the north to southern Ontario, Michigan and eastern New York, it is illegal to remove skinks from their habitats in Canada. Skinks prefer moist, partially wooded habitat that providesnice shade or inside walls of buildings as well as sites to bask in the sun. You can purchase these lizards at certain exotic pet store, You can also purchase them online. The prices ranges from 14-100$ depending where you purchase them from. websites like www.backwaterreptiles.com or www.firstchoicereptiles.com and both websites sells different morphs of Skinks. Prices will vary. They aren't endangered since they're fast and very humble when kept in captivity. To keep a skink as a er you have to met with there survival needs, so I strongly recommend researching about their habitat, and mimicking that into a well ventilated aquarium. Skinks eat bugs so you can most likely can feed them crickets and other small insects, as in meal worms and super worms.
