New Skink Owner- Need help 
Hey everybody I recently received a skink for a gift and I wasn’t given any information about it except that it eats crickets. I have a picture and need to know what type of environment, lighting & heating, and area he/she needs to be in. Ive found that it might be in the Trachylepis vittata species but am not sure. He/she keeps trying to escape out of the terrarium, I’m not sure if it is a problem but he/she is also held a few times a week.

are you sure it is a skink? Looks more like a plated lizard to me, but cant really tell from the picture.

Yea after doing a quick search, I am like 95% positive you do NOT have a skink! Looks a lot like a Gerrhosaurus flavigularis to me. So before you jump all over us, you should do your own homework!

well see, i was told it was a skink. I had no idea, i was busy searching for a skink that looked like this and i was in the wrong direction. but seriously, you didn’t have to be rude about it, obviously i need help and dont want my animal to die, you could have just answered my questions and let me know its not a skink and point me to the wrong forum. thanks .
