    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Any care sheets or general info on scincopus fasciatus?

I have noticed a great deal of these lizards hitting the pet trade with in the last month but I have yet to see any info on them. I know they are nocturnal and feed on dubai and other insects. What about basking temps? Is there care similar to schneider skinks? Any help would be great I would like to own a pair since they may never be this easy to get again.
 
I know this is an old post but I thought I would throw this up there for anyone who may be interested.

I have a few. Getting more in tomorrow. There is a group on facebook called Scincopus (Peter's Banded Skink). VERY informative. They aren't very active in posts but they are pretty quick to answer questions.

From what I have experienced here are some tips:
VERY nocturnal, I do not see them at all until late 11-12pm. I also see them when I get up for work in the mornings (4-5am)

For me they have eaten Dubia roaches, orange spotted roaches, super worms, crickets and horn worms. I have not seen them eat any fruits and veggies, but people have observed them doing it.

basking temps: I keep hot side around 100 F cool side mid 80s (they are in a large community tank)

I also soak 1x per week. Hope this helps.
