It is probably nothing but I would check your temps. Sluggish/lazy behavior can be caused by low temps. If your temps are good, then you have a lazy skink.

Yep, what others said. Check your temps and otherwise, well, you have a reptile! They aren't usually super active. If they aren't hungry or cold or anything then it is safer to sit tight and hang out then to come out and risk getting nabbed by a predator. :wink:

I have two Merauke siblings, in identical tanks, same temperatures; one is always out and about, the other one I hardly ever see unless I get him out for feedings.
So I would say; perfectly normal!
But it won't hurt to make sure your temperatures are good.
