About this product

Description: The crocodile skink, also known as the crocodile lizard or crocodile skink lizard, refers to several species of small, lizard-like reptiles belonging to the genus Tribolonotus. They are native to New Guinea and nearby islands. Appearance: Crocodile skinks have a reptilian appearance similar to small lizards but are actually classified as skinks. They have elongated bodies, short legs, and a long, tapering tail. Their scales are rough and ridged, resembling the texture of crocodile skin, hence their common name. They typically have brown or gray coloration with darker markings, providing camouflage in their natural habitat. Habitat: Crocodile skinks are primarily found in tropical rainforests, where they inhabit leaf litter and dense vegetation near streams or water sources. They are semi-fossorial, meaning they spend much of their time burrowing or hiding in the substrate. Diet: Crocodile skinks are insectivorous, feeding primarily on a diet of small insects and invertebrates found in their natural habitat. In captivity, they can be fed a variety of live insects such as crickets, mealworms, and roaches, as well as occasional treats like small earthworms. Lifespan: Croc
