Pink Tongue Skink Information
Hello -
I am looking for a good source of information regarding the care of pink tongue skinks. I have been looking online for some time. However, it seems that every website has differing opinions as to the proper care of these guys. For example: some websites recommend group cages while others recommend single living conditions; similarly some recommend UV some recommend no UV. There is not a consistent place to find the information regarding this species. I know some on the forums keep/breed these species. So I thought that is wold be a good place to start the discussion of proper care for these skinks so the information is out there. Thanks, Kyle |
I keep mine in groups of 4 no UVB and feed greens, snails , dog food and really ripe fruit. The are opportunistic feeders so I feed them stuff that they would find in the wild. I give them places to hide and climb a little. Temps in basking are about 85 and cooler near the bottom. I use coco fiber as a substrate.
They tend to be stimulated to eat by misting and like a 85 or so basking spot. Seems to work great for me. The are very social in the group. They hang out and sleep together. Hope this helps. |
Thanks Ryan,
One question regarding tanks. What do you keep yours in? I'm looking into getting a small group (5 ish) but want to make sure I actually understand the cage requirements etc before getting them. |

I like taller cages as they like to climb. I keep 4 of them in 18x18x24. |
