Skinks are very secretive lizards.
They are found throughout most of the world. Typically, their bodies have a rounded, flattened shape with short legs, very short legs or no legs at all. Most skinks have an extra, transparent eyelid, smooth shiny scales and a tail designed to break off when grabbed. As skinks tend to be aggressive a tank for a pair should be no smaller than 15 gallons. They do best in a natural environment setup.
