 Five lined skinks

I have beacome very interested in five lined skinks. Currently I own three leopard geckos, two turtles, and a tree frog. I have a few questions before i call the petstore. how much time do they spend underground? can more than one be kept in a tank (please specify if males meed to be seperated)?

And now, does this sound like a good setup?

Caging- 15g glass tank with lid

Substrate- 3-4" of bed-a-beast

Hides- a few log huts, and some peices of driftwood

Decorations- a few flat rocks (for basking/burrowing)

Plants- potted plants and moss throughout the entire enclusore

am i missing anything? should i change anything? and lastly whould these little guys make use of a 3d background (climbing it)? I think i will put it in regardless to provide a snce of security, just was curiouse if they would actually use it.
