🦎 What Are Crocodile Skinks?

Crocodile Skinks (Tribolonotus spp.) are small, nocturnal reptiles from New Guinea, easily recognized by their armor-like scales and expressive eye coloration. Red-eyed crocodile skinks develop vibrant red or orange eye rings as they mature, while White-eyed morphs feature pale eye rings. Adults grow 7–9 inches and reach maturity in about 3–4 years.

🌿 Ideal Habitat & Setup

Enclosure Requirements

• Minimum 15–20 gallon horizontal terrarium—ground space matters most

• Include ground-level hides, leaf litter, cork bark, and shaded retreats

Temperature & Lighting

• Maintain daytime temps between 82–88 °F, with cooler zones of 72–78 °F, and nights above 68 °F

• Use low-level UVB lighting for 10–12 hours to support healthy metabolism

Humidity & Substrate

• Keep humidity high—70–90%—with daily misting and a humid hide for shedding

• Use substrates that retain moisture (e.g., coconut fiber); avoid substrates that cause impaction

Diet & Nutrition

These skinks are insectivores. Feed them:

• Hatchlings: 2–3 small insects daily

• Juveniles/Adults: every other day

• Use feeders like crickets, roaches, and worms; lightly dust with calcium + vitamin D3 to prevent deficiencies

 Health & Hygiene

• Daily spot-cleaning, especially of waste and water dishes

• Weekly deep-cleaning of décor and hide boxes; full substrate change every month

• Monitor for shedding problems, lethargy, and respiratory symptoms

✋ Handling & Behavior

Primarily crepuscular and shy, Crocodile Skinks do not enjoy handling; they may “freeze” or flick their tongue when stressed. Many enthusiasts recommend a well-planted display terrarium that lets you observe them without touching. Minimal handling—limited to quick health checks—is best for their well-being.
