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.
