Staff Report Traits Sandfish skinks are unique among the skinks of the world.
Skinks have powerful mouths and are capable of inflicting a painful bite.
Children should only handle these lizards in the company of an adult. All skinks require ultraviolet lighting to maintain good health. Adult skinks should be fed 3-4 times per week. A shallow water bowl should be provided and changed daily. Unless breeding is desired, skinks are best kept singularly.
