Those do not look like Slater's Dull skinks — rather, Bellatorias frerei, "Major skinks". Kept similar to Tiliqua scincoides. I've noticed a lot of people give them ledges and such in captivity to hide in as they tend to be a timid species.

that's what i was thinking to be honest. all the pics of the SDS i looked at do not look like these. but they do look like the major skinks. thanks anyway :)
