Gray's Water Skink

[uting]

It's been such a long time since I lasted posted here on MFK. I just wanted to share my new acquisitions. I got a 2 Gray's water skinks. They are around 6"-7" and they're probably WC. So far, they haven't touched the mealworms but they've ate the bananas I offered. I'm still in the dark on how to take care of them and there are no good caresheets in the internet so any tips on care will be appreciated.

Cool looking Skink! I remember reading about them before. Have you tried feeding them earthworms or even small fish?

Feeder earth worms are rarely here in the PH but they did eat some freshly killed shrimp.

They are semi amphibious but its better if you can have a paludarium set up and not driftwood+water only, they will eat crickets and lats, they hunt them by staying still until the prey is within striking distance and then they pounce on their prey. they also do this by hiding under the water then pounce when the prey is within striking distance. I keep mine in a terrarium and its doing great right now.
