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.

“My Vanquisher, spoild of his vanted spoile;
Death his deaths wound shall then receive, & stoop
*nglorious, of his mortall sting disarm’d.

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,”
