Another ID and Care sheets please
Hi can someone tell me what this skink is and point me in the right direction of a care sheet?
The pet shop person said "Sand skink" but I can tell he can't tell his butt from his elbow. Thanks. |

Well it looks like a sandfish skink but the head is not yellow like in your link. It was brownish grey. It wasn't all yellow like that.
In chinese, the name the pet shop guys said can be translated to "Shark skink", don't know if that helps. |

And Shark skink would be a very fitting common name for this lizard as they literally swim thru sand in search of prey.

In a search I found one listing for $15.00
I don't remember ever seeing any for sale. Its my understanding that they are not that common in the trade. Probably because they tend to stay burrowed and you never see them.
