That is one big skink!!! How long is he/she?
I would recommend adding another hide at the warm hide, by making like an elevated hide using PVC Pipes.
Lol I see the little leopard gecko :lol:

Nice enclosure! I'm just curious, can she get all the way under that hide? It almost looks like she is too big. Also, does she burrow in that substrate? I have never used that stuff, and I have always been curious about whether or not skinks burrow in it.

Is that is repti-bark? If so yes Jeff, they do burrow in it. :)

Awesome! You know what would really spice up this enclosure? Some background wallpaper of some kind.

Good eye on the gecko, ML...
