Tube Skink ?
We set Cobalt down on the floor for a couple of seconds while I was replacing his cage furniture and he decided to cram his entire body into a paper towel tube. We can not coax him out of the tube, so eventually we just placed him and the tube inside of his enclosure in hopes that he decides to leave the tube himself. The problem is that I think he is quite happy crammed in the tube like that and he hasn't budged in the past 30 minutes. He's still flicking his tongue and breathing normally... should we just leave him until he comes out on his own or what?

They can fit into much tighter spaces than you would expect, and be able to get out just fine. Some food may coax him out

Haha thanks! He did crawl out a few minutes ago, gave a big yawn, and burrowed under his aspen, so all is good.
