done some reading on these guys and decided to start setting up. right now im trying to put together a house. i saw a setup on youtube of mostly water at the bottom of an aquarium with rock and a small dry area and branches above. not sure if thats the best way to go or of bathing dishes are better. also i have a spare aquarium, not sure if its 30 or 40 gallons. would that be better than one of those exo-terra terrariums? i know they need almost 100% humidity so im aware exo terra would house humidity better but i have no problem fabricating a plexiglass top for the aquarium. any help in other areas with these skinks is appreciated too. also looking for a reputable breeder, but please no "deals" right now, id like to get one in a month or two MINIMUM, maybe longer.
croc/armored skink faq

I've been wanting to get a pair of croc skinks for a while. That youtube video you're talking about sounds like a little too wet of a habitat for one. Someday when I do get a pair my enclosure design will be sort of a river tank with about 1/3 water and 2/3 land since they're found in the wild along riverbanks.
I can't think of a breeder off the top of my head but you could check out the classifieds on Kingsnake.com.

I figured as much. i was thinking if i do go with the aquarium i was going to segregate about 8 inches to one side of the tank for a "pond" area and seal it off with a piece of silicone. so they would have about 80% lands 20% water. heres the video

What size tank are you thinking of using? I think when the time comes I'd like to use a 40 breeder since it has a better footprint of a ground dwelling reptile.
whatever i need. im playing with buying an exo terra terrarium, my aquarium, or buying something else. my tanks dimensions are 30L 12W 12H

Ehh....I suppose but everything I've read says they spend more time on the ground than in the trees. You could go with a higher tank if you wanted to.
