Fairly certain both my skinks are females so I figure I should change their names.
I'm hoping to add another merauke and/or another northern this year.
Both are housed in vision cages- about 36x27x18. Feed them both wet dog food once per week w/ calcium + d3. Both are housed on turf carpet.
Update! Clean tanks, snapped a few pics

Great names haha. Nice setup too, wish vision cages were cheaper I'd have a bunch. Nothing to burrow in?

Yeah vision cages are a bit pricey. I got mine for a good discount, used from a guy on craigslist. I'm hoping to find some more on craigslist this season!
And no, nothing to burrow in. They can get under the carpet if they want to. But mostly they just hang out in the hides that I've put in the tanks.

Wow nice find, I haven't had any luck with craigslist but maybe one day something will pop up. I agree that is one chubby Merauke haha, great looking skinks though.
