if youre gonna use the backside of a mirror, i just feel the need to make a note.
dont use an antique mirror (older than 50 - 100 years) since there is a risk of mercury content.

just to be on the safe side :oops:

What is the temperature of the room at night? Is adding heat necessary?

I am not a fan of this type of answers. You MUST know what the temps are. IMO, it is important for the skinks to have a cool down period at night. Just because you need a cover/extra warmth, doesnt mean the skink needs it. How are you measuring the temps in their tank? Cant you measure the room temperature during the night with it?
