Description
The Major Skink is a very uncommon species seen in the reptile hobby. These large, adaptable lizards are native to the scrublands, rainforests, and woodlands of the eastern coast of Australia, preferring rocky outcrops within those habitats. These animals are especially unique in their social structure, mating for life and form interrelated family groups that can be traced back genetically for several generations. They do not appreciate much handling, and are best kept with minimal interaction outside of feeding and terrarium maintenance.
Their diet in the wild mostly consists of insects, snails, spiders, smaller reptiles and various fruits.
