you betta turn that skink loose, and very soon, or else you will have some visitors from de federal gubmint who will tell you you are in violation of not only state laws, but federal as well. what part of ’exotic animal’ don’t you understand? how would you enjoy being put into a cage? well, if you don’t turn that skink back to wild, from whence it came, you may well find out how it is to be in a cage urself.....and eating very very cold eggs in the morning!

have you ever thought that maybe she or he bought it? you need to calm down and stop causing a ruckus on all the forums and don’t accuse people before you know the facts. I have one in a ten gallon and he has plenty of room so yes you can :D

jeez!! I am going to buy one and the only reason i wanted to know about the tank was because they had one left at the petshop in a 20 gallon but they said that they’d had 2 in it before one got sold...
