Skinks

A 50/50 mix of Antifreeze and distilled water goes in the radiator. You also want to fill the coolant recovery tank to the full mark.

Skinks will eat dead insects and live insects. They prefer to eat the live insects because they enjoy hunting and killing them.

Yes they do bite. In fact, they bite nearly every time they are handled. While they do bite, their teeth are too small to penetrate human flesh. I have handled many of them and I encourage them to bite me at first to show people who have never seem them that they are not dangerous. Their bite feels like a very light pinch. In my opinion, it is not even remotely painful. Even if they could pierce the skin, they are not poisonous. If you see one you should surely keep it around. Don't be afraid, for he is your friend. He eats those pesky insects that annoy us all. If you want to pick up and hold this little creature, you will first have to catch it, as it is very quick. Grab it gently in between it's front and rear legs, near it's abdomen. If you attempt to grab its tail, it will simply disconnect it and attempt to flee. After handling carefully, please place this friendly reptile back in its natural habitat. If you must keep one in captivity, feed it live insects and give it water in a shallow, non-metal bowl.

the boys have orange or red heads the females have five dull bluish stripes

hey im sure just a terrarium bug enough so it can run around ...this is a link i found so you can learn more so you can take care of your five lined skink !!!! =P http://www.repticzone.com/caresheets/241.html

Buy a spud pistol and shoot them. This is the best way. I am going to do this myself. Shooting at them annoys them and this puts them off. Continuous sniping at them for many years leads them to learn to stay away. But lizards being slow learners, this may take time. If any one knows a better and faster method, please let me know. Leave empty egg shells around. Lizards hate them. Try Placing peacock feathers here and there other than decorating the place it gets those creeps out.its a god gift for people like me.

It really depends on the skink. The skink could cost anywhere from 30-100 dollars, just for the animal. As for the supplies, my best bet would be to look through here:

and everything they say they need, search each one on http://www.google.com/ and that is the best way to find the total cost. I personally don't have time to do that now, but this is your best bet too.

Hope I helped!

Leaping Lizards. It is a reptile store in Bloomington, you can search for them on the web.

And Twin Cities Reptiles. It is a reptile store in Saint Paul along 280 and University Ave.

This question cannot be answered without knowing the SPECIES of skink, as skinks live on every continent apart from Antarctica, and in environments as different as deserts, tropical rainforests, and temperate grasslands.

All reptiles must have controlled heat of some kind to provide proper temperatures for digestion, so research the needs of the species you want to keep BEFORE you bring it home, and set up all of your equipment in advance.

There is only 1 skink that i know of that is poisonous it is called the shingle back and is found in the outback deserts of australia

Otago skinks eat a number of things such as spiders, bugs, berries, and even nectar. They use their sticky notched tongue in order to eat their food.

It's called the green-blooded skink

No - they require completely different habitats !

Gilbert's skinks are carnivorous and mostly eat small insects. In captivity their diets consist mainly of crickets, mealworms, and meal beetles.

No, foil lined insulation boards have a soft insulating centre that is rather fragile and easily damaged by rough handling.

they can live to approximately 20 years but the life span does vary between each skink. what kind of skink it is can also factor...

Species ranging across arid areas tend to be insectivores. Their feces will look like a 1" long piece of dark wood. Looking closely we can see that in reality it is the exo skeletons of insects they've digested.

Yes skinks have backbones which makes them a vertabrae.
