 4 lined skink help

I kept one I found in my living room, it has been a challenge getting to know how to care for him. The little advice I can give is:

1. Get a 10 gal tank ($12 at petco), some Turtle turf, a little water dish, a little food dish, and someplace for him to hideout.

2. Get some mealworms for it to eat, they’re pretty cheap.

3. give him some time to settle into his new home, go it at his pace and he should be fine.

4. read about them here in the forums and learn all you can.

A lot of knowledgable people here, I am sure there will be other advice as well.

If hes in really bad health you should probably take him to a vet if you want him to be healthy.
Also, check out the care sheets on 5line skinks.
