Description
The pink-tongued skink (Cyclodomorphus gerrardii) is a small skink native to eastern Australia, and is an animal that enjoys moderate temperatures (basking site of 95F, ambient of 75-85F) and ambient humidity (40-60%). Pink-tongues are omnivores that especially relish snails and slugs but should be offered a large variety of foods. In captivity, this species will eat a variety of foods including, but not limited to, earthworms, waxworms, mealworms, bananas, mice, cat food, dog food, chicken and beef. Grain-free dog and cat food is recommended.
These skinks are small, docile, beautiful, and can be handled more easily than other similarly small skinks. They are not as eager to bite, nor drop their tail, but always keep an eye on the level of stress your animal may be under and keep handling to short spans of time.
