crocodile skink

[fish boy in toronto]

I got one for my son about 6 months ago and he is doing great just wondering if there are any other lizards or frogs that could be kept with him

does anyone have any sugestions please and thank you

Im not super knowledgable about crocodile skinks but very generally speaking, it's not a good idea to mix different species of lizards and or frogs.

I always find that a strange attitude, especially on an aquarium site where everyone routinely mixes species from all over the world together...

Im not too keen on that either. Personally I hate the idea of mixing all different types of fish together from all over the world personally.

2 things. First of congrats on what you just acomplished, many guys here tryed the same and failed misserably. As for companions for it of a diferent species thats a big no no.
2 thing if your sucessfull in keeping it and want more critters, you should seiously consider getting several more croc skinks of the same species, this skinks are not by any means comon and many fail to trive long term, we NEED more croc skinks breeding groups, once they are extablished they apear fairly easy to breed. If export quotas from their native contrys stop this is one animal that we may loose from the hobby. Just some matter of though

I know of a guy whom keeps crocodile skinks, hatchling snakenecks, and dwarf rainbow fish all in large 75g display tank.
