African Fire Skink

This is one of Fauna’s African fire skinks! They have beautiful red streaks down the sides of their face and body and are very friendly. Although a diurnal species, fire skinks enjoy plenty of substrate to burrow in and rarely climb. Because of this, wider cages are often better than taller ones.

Here is one of the fire skinks we recently hatched at Fauna. This species is commonly seen as imported in the pet market, but rarely ever captive raised.
