Just wanted to do an update on my Triblonotus gracilis breeding project. I currently have 6 croc skinks 3 males and 3 females. I have been able to breed this unique species once before. They lay about one egg at a time every 4 months or so mothers will take care of young. I don't have my first breaded pair anymore but I found a pretty good captive breeder who has helped me get started. Not much is known about croc skinks but they have been in the trade since 1994. They need anywhere from 60%to100% humidity a lot of damp swamp like hide outs. Two can do fine in a 20gal I use 106qt tubs(clear view) that work great for croc skinks. You can have a water dish deep enough for their whole body to fit in. I use a 16qt tub as a pond with a small filter. They really like to swim and climb. So I would recommend getting a bigger tub so they can actually swim around. They don't need special light temp needs to be 72 to 88 with 80 being perfect. A little uvb is fine as well. Even though they like to stay damp you still need to have a dry hide to give options. Its recommended to keep in male/female pairs. Two males will fight to the death and even female housed together will often fight. They make a dog like sound when scared and like to play dead. Just some general information about croc skinks.
Dry hide(substrate needs to be 3 to 4 inches deep they burrow)
I use 3 different types of substrate (moss,coco fiber,cypress mulch)
