Skinks in the wild eat anything that walks or flies by as long as they can fit it into their mouths. Avoid caterpillars, spiders, wasps and bees. Somehow in the wild they avoid the poisonous ones, captive ones might eat them and get sick . I raised them on meal worms and crickets dusted with "Herptivite brand Multivitamins and Calcium" I'm sure others would work just as well, also would give them canned Monitor/ Tegu food as a treat, they'd really enjoy it. Feed them until they are full every 2 days or so. You will be able to see them looking around for more if they are getting really hungry.
No, they are not poisonous.

No, blue-tailed skinks are not endangered, but blue-tailed mole skinks are. These are a limited area variety, and are not the common blue-tailed skink that seem to be everywhere here around my house in Missouri.
They eat metalwork crickets and any other type of insects. If they are thirsty, they will drank water.

No, they are not venomous. In fact, they make very good pets.
Blue-tailed skinks are preyed upon by various predators, including birds such as hawks and crows, as well as snakes and some small mammals like cats and raccoons. Their bright blue tails may serve as a distraction, allowing them to escape while the predator focuses on the tail. Additionally, larger reptiles can also pose a threat to these skinks.
