Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink
| Place of Origin and Range | Found in New Guinea. |
| Description | This skink has a bony casque on the back of the head, very rough dorsal scales, and orange orbits. Usually dark in colour. |
| Morph Patterns Available | Yes |
| Adult Size | Can grow up to 6.5 in (16.25 cm ) |
| Accommodation | They live in tropical forests and have also been found in human-populated areas. They prefer high heat and humidity, at their basking spot 80 °F (27 °C)and slightly less elsewhere in their habitat during the day. |
| Lifespan | Can live 10+ years |
| Feeding / Diet | Some of these lizards eat small amounts of fruits or vegetables, but most are entirely insectivorous, earthworms the favourite food. Like many reptiles, in captivity they must be provided a diet supplemented with extra calcium and a light source with a UVB radiation to reduce the risk of bone disorders. |
| Breeding | Red-eyed crocodile skinks can be sexed using the pores on their front feet as only males have these "pores". Females have only a single working ovary (right ovary), laying one egg at a time. The female often curls around the egg. Male crocodile skinks will battle other males for females and females can be territorial as well. |
