Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

a bit confused on Schneider's tank size
I've been looking up info on Schneider's skinks and am confused on the tank size. Some sites say a 20g is good. Some say 20g is the minimum size. Some say 30g-40g. I'd love to get one, but have a 20g and no room for a bigger tank.

I assume you mean a 20 gallon high (24x12x16) That is fine for a single Schneider's skink. Of course bigger is almost always better but it will be fine in a 20 gallon. If you get creative you can actually create a multilevel habitat for him which will increase his useable floor space considerably. It can also make use of the wasted extra height that a predominantly ground dwelling animal generally can not utilize.

Probably better. The added floor space would be more ideal than the shorter-yet-taller 20g high.
IMHO, a 20g long is a perfect size for a single Schneider's skink. However, if you were getting more than one, a 40-breeder (apprx 36 x 18 x 16tall") would be ideal.

Yes, a 20 long will be fine for a single Schneider's skink.
