Make sure to have at least eight tank areas for your skink to roam free. [substeps] Small-your skinks need a 6 gallon tank for a medium sized skink, and then 25 gallons for a large skink. Hatchlings can be comfortable in a 10 to 20 gallon (37.9 to 75.7 l) tank. If you have a larger skink, make sure the tank is at least 30 to 40 gallons (110 to 150 l). The tank should be big enough for a skink to bathe in and get a walk or swim in comfortably, neither uncomfortably small nor moderately cramped. [title] Water your skink once a day. A skink's tank should generally have at least 24 square feet for them to roam more freely and be able to be safely carried around. [substeps] Skinks will patrol over their tank for occasional one-minute walks or swims and need a lot of space to do so.
