Captive Care
Five-lined Skinks can be maintained in captivity with minimal care. Note, however, that keeping skinks from the wild is illegal in some states and other states may impose restrictions such as having a license. Skinks should be offered live insects. Water should be offered in shallow non-metal bowl.

Famous quotes containing the words captive and/or care:
“There a captive sat in chains
Crooning ditties treasured well
From his Afric’s torrid plains.
Sole estate his sire bequeathed,—
Hapless sire to hapless son,—
Was the wailing song he breathed,
And his chain when life was done.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In short I must confide in you to take such care of the men under you as an economical householder would of his own family, doing every thing within himself as far as he can, and calling for as few supplies as possible. The less you depend for supplies from this quarter, the less you will be disappointed.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
