Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink (Tribolonotus gracilis)



We are looking for more of these. We are wanting to add to our breeding program. Please share us with anyone you know and share us with anyone who may have this species.

The Red-Eyed Croc. Skink, also known as Tribbies, Orange-Eyed Crocodile skinks, or the Red-Eyed Busch Crocodile skink this lizard has become an increasingly popular pet in the United States since 1994 when it debuted in the pet trade. Native to the tropical forests of New Guinea and Indonesia, this crepuscular lizard is commonly found scurrying across the ground and climbing branches, plants, and latticework.

These 8-10 inch lizards are more of a visual pet rather than a one that can be handled often. Crocodile skinks will vocalize when in distress which is meant to alarm the captor (sometimes resulting in a startled drop reflex on the handler’s part) and may even play dead. Juveniles are more likely to play dead than the adults. This species of skink is also adept at “tail dropping” (autonomy) when startled. Their small stature, unique appearance, and relatively short lifespan of 8-10 years make skinks an ideal pet for many apartment residents. Juveniles are generally a dark brown with a white dorsal (back) stripe. Adults, however, are solid dark reddish brown with bright orange around the eyes giving them a striking appearance.
