    Question American Five-Lined skink care?

    Hey all, as you know from my previous thread, not only did I catch an American Five-Lined skink, (which I named Smaug) but he escaped for about 4 days, and I recaptured him, (thanks to Monster and Krispy) but how do you care for them? From the only two caresheets online, I determined they like to burrow/climb, love high temperatures, and love to eat. but is there anything else that you guys out there did? Did you use sand for the heavily burrowing animal? What kind of UVB bulbs did you use? Tell me in the replies how you cared for your American Five-Lined Skinks!

    Oh, and BTW, I know how to care for them, I was wondering if there was anything that the caresheets left out (they were very short caresheets)

    Then what I would do is try to copy their natural habitat to the best of your ability, eliminating dangers of course.

    Oh, today I found another one,(A teenager, a little bit bigger than Smaug) which
    I named Behemoth. He is developing into a male, and Smaug looks like she may
    turn out into a female,(growing and keeping her stripes and tail color) so how
    easy are they to breed? I see videos on YouTube with the skinks breeding, so are
    they an easy species to breed?
