Skinks

Skinks eat other skinks. Big Skinks eat the skinks that are smaller then the bigger skinks.

They drink milk from cows as well.

There main thing they eat is snails.

How skinks catch snails: They first jump on the snail and stomp ot it to make it crushed. (they prefer snails crushed)

Yes. It is legal. You just need to have papers filled out.

It depends on the species. e.g a common garden skink from Australia the females have an orange belly and the males have a light-grey/silver belly

No, they are not, however they bite but it does not hurt because they have small teeth but it only feels like a pinch but no, they are not poisonous. plus, right now for a little laugh i had a skink under my refridgeorator and we had to pull it out and i had to carry it outside! lol

Yes they are easy to take care of and a fun pet for younger ones. Just feed them the correct diet or they will get scoliosis.

No...newts and salamanders are both amphibians (like frogs); however, newts are a little bigger than the common salamander. Also, newts are more of a water amphibian while salamanders tend to prefer moist areas like under logs and such.

with good care about 3-4 yrs.I have a skink and am well experienced.

The "true" iguanas are the genus Iguana, such as the green iguana (Iguana iguana). However, the name is applied to other genera of lizards, such as the desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis).

Georgia skinks will eat almost everything. Crickets, snails, insects, plants, carrion, chicken, turkey, beef and other things are on their diet.

If you meant the lizard like animal, then they are carnivores. Thus they mostly eat insects like grasshoppers, crickets, beetles, and caterpillars. They also eat earthworms, snails, and slugs. Those that are kept as household pets can have a diet of 60% vegetables/leaves/fruit and 40% meat or meat products (like dog or cat food) daily. So, you could feed it a simpler meal of this, like small leaves that are not too thick so it can be easily digested.

A skink is anyone of many, maybe a thousand different species, of smooth, shiny, stocky lizards of the family"Scincidae". They have a cylindrical body with short or rudimentary legs. They are in many different colors and patterns.

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I was pleasantly surprised to note that some do. The skink is one of the largest families of related lizards, comprising seventy five genera and six hundred species. Mostly they live on the hotter continents of Africa and the Indian subcontinent through Australia. But one, the five-lined skink, is a small and striped thing (hence the name) and found in the woods of the southeastern United States--an area which includes, of course, the state of South Carolina. http://www.snakesandfrogs.com/scra/lizards/sclizard.htm

Sand skinks live in the sand.

yes ! you can keep pet skinks as long as you give it small amounts of food once a week. Some things you can feed your skink are:

-one slice of carrot (it will last a week)

-tiny bits of lettuce

-soggy oats (leave them in water for a minute at least then strain)

-crickets

-small spiders or ants

-beatles

-dead flies

-they LOVE little bites of banana!

Fill a small bottle top with water and put it with the skink, whereever you chose to keep it, a shoebox with air holes is a good idea if you don't have anything else.

Hope this helps :)

I have a pet Skink called Angry and he is out of hibernation all ready!

And i got a page off wikkipedia and it says their preditors are Birds, Bigger lizards, snakes, Hopper ants.

it can live without its head for 2 weeks, because it has open blood vessels (so it won't bleed to death, and it always eats so much the nutrients in its food will keep it from starving to death. HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.

it carries it on its back till it is fully grown

Skinks really do bite because i have caught one and it bit me!!

Foods: Skinks eat everything - crickets, snails, carrion (bits of turkey or chicken are okay, if you run out of carrion), fruits, flowers, vegetables, mealworms, earthworms, banana bites, greens, baby foods, grasshoppers, beetles, spiders, caterpillars, and smaller lizards. And eggs, boiled, scrambled, or raw, and probably poached.

Anywhere from 4.9 inches to 8.5 inches in total length.

Veggies should be 60% of skinks diet: Turnip, collard and/or mustard greens, green beans, all squashes, watercress, beet greens, borage, OCCASIONAL white mushrooms, green peas, sweet potatoes, parsnips. They will also eat cactus pads and cactus pear FREQUENTLY in nature. Fresh basil can be offered occasionally as well, as a boost for picky eaters or weak animals.

Fruit can also be fed, but only as a treat, not to extend 10% of diet: mango, mixed berries, cantaloupe.

you cant exactly tell when they arn't fully grown, but once they are adults the male will turn brownish black colored all over the body and the female will stay the same (blue tail, stripes, etc.)
