Try looking up Asian sun skinks or Many lined Sun skinks. they eat insects.

Can you post a picture? There are so many kinds of skinks and they are often wrongly labeled.
I have a number of kinds of skinks, some unidentified as yet. Try spraying them with water. If they respond positively to the water then you know they have a high water requirement. Skinks that run for cover at the first drop of water, clearly do not need to be as wet. Try varying the temperature slightly and see how they respond. If it is too cool or too hot they will probably stay hidden in the substrate.

Skinks like to eat insects and for the size of them, they are big eaters. It is hard to fill them up. They do have a UVB requirement, some species more than others and it is best to give Vit D suppliment.

I can’t get the link to work. Too bad, I would like to see what they look like. I have a tiny lizard called a sun skink, full grown he is only 4 in. I would like to find more.
