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:
“My Vanquisher, spoild of his vanted spoile;
Death his deaths wound shall then receive, & stoop
*nglorious, of his mortall sting disarm’d.
I through the ample Air in Triumph high
Shall lead Hell Captive maugre Hell, and show
The powers of darkness bound. Thou at the sight
Pleas’d, out of Heaven shalt look down and smile,”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“No one knows better than children how much they need the authority that protects, that sets the outer limits of behavior with known and prescribed consequences. As one little boy expressed it to his mother, “You care what I do.””
—Leontine Young (20th century)
