Add an extra 7 gallons per extra skink. Use a horizontal tank to house them for they don't tend to climb much. Once it grows, you'll need an adult tank and 10 gallon tank. The terrarium needs to have at least 4 gallons of water per gallon, which is enough water for the two skinks. With larger brine tanks, you may only need 15-20 gallons of space. Young bucks can actually live in another 15 gallon aquarium, with six larger tanks surrounding it. It is important to accommodate one skink and one adult. The tank should have spaces that are suited to the reptile's size.
