Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink

Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink is a unique and exotic reptile that is becoming increasingly popular. These lizards are mostly found in New Guinea and Indonesia. They are loved for their red-eye rings and armor-like scales (similar to a crested Gecko)!

There are eight known species of Crocodile Skink, with the Tribolonotus gracilis (i.e. Red-Eyed) being the most-popular species in captivity.

This nocturnal skink is named for the red/orange ring that surrounds its eye, not the eyeball itself.

• – Frequent handling not recommended, as it may cause stress
• – Nocturnal, but may be seen throughout the day, especially during feeding times
• – Prefer cool, moist environments with ample ground space and numerous hiding spots
• – Best kept singly, they may also tolerate mixed sex pairs. Pairs/groups of males only or females only should be avoided as they may become territorial or aggressive
