Fire Skink vs Red Eyed Crocodile Skink - Head To Head

Skinks are just fantastic! The fire skink (Lepidothyris fernandi) and the red eyed crocodile skink (Tribolonotus gracilis) are, arguably, two of the coolest of them all. But which is the best pet lizard? To figure this out, Clint will have to put them head to head!

I met a crocodile skink owner that set up a camera to capture video of his animal's behavior at night and made having one way more interesting. The store I worked for also produced a few babies and they were all quite inquisitive of people and would come out to investigate whenever we went into the enclosure.

They are so full of personality and he loves to watch us from his hide and hunt for dinner. I totally agree with this video and your views on these amazing creatures. I love your videos and am excited to see more of the amazing animals you reccomend.

I have just found your channel and subscribed. It is great to see content on Skinks as they are my favourite species. I had two Sandfish Skinks, maybe 8 years ago, when there was hardly any information on the internet about them and even less elsewhere. The information that was out there said that you never see them as they are always under the sand, however that is not true, or at least I found it to be untrue as after six month or so my Skinks regularly came up having a nosey whenever they felt like it and yes, sometimes they may have been out of site for a while, but I think that was when they were ready to shed. They are good to watch feeding and the way they swim in the sand unnerved a few of my friends, but it was a different response when they Skinks popped there heads up. I could go on about them, but it would be great to see you do that. They are amazing reptiles and it would be great if you could do a video about them. The downside to me was that they were wild caught at the time.
