[Neo]

yeah.. neone know how to take care of em? im thinking of catching one that lives in my yard somewhere. if neone objects i'll gladly not catch it if theres something i should know about them that'll make me leave em alone

Neo, don't keep a wild skink.
1. they are easily available in captivity, so why take one out of the wild?
2. you'll end up spending more to get rid of mites/parasites/ticks than you would just BUYING one.
3. why make your other herps vulnerable to any diseases this new skink might bring it? Even if kept in a different room, there is still a risk or transmition.

So yeah, don't just keep something wild because its available to you, if you like 5 lined skinks buy one.
