Well I got a five line skink and I need to know how to care for it and I looked for a care sheet online and I don't know if I those are right so can you help me?
They don't get much easier than these guys.
a 10 gallon tank is perfectly fine for 1. a 20 gallon long would work for 2-4 adults (with only 1 big male).
diet- any insects really, I feed my WC ones crickets and mealworms dusted with a calcium supplement
substrate can be highly variable. I generally do a custom mix of peat moss, vermiculite, cocofiber. These guys like to bury themselves at times and hide.
give them heat (a normal light bulb 40 watt) and UVA/UVB light during the day. room temperature at night.
give them a decent rock or some sticks so they can climb and bask on during the day.
I give them water by misting twice a day and they drink off of the ground, leaves, glass, or basking sticks.
