Fire Skink (Lepidothyris fernandi

The African fire skink was first documented in 1836. It inhabits forest and woodland habitat in West Africa, as well as scrub adjoining grasslands in areas that are abundant with hiding spots, rife with leaf litter and rich with insect life.
Being opportunistic feeders, fire skinks spend the majority of their time hunting arthropods and small vertebrates. Insects, snails, spiders, roaches, and worms make up most of the diet, but some fire skinks also accept pieces of fruit. Aim a directional heat lamp at one corner of the cage so there’s a hot spot for the fire skink to sunbathe to reach their preferred temperatures for activity and digestion. Very little is known about its reproductive habits and general behaviors because there are little data and only a handful of studies. We have had our skink group since 2017.

The sanctuary has adopted animals including reptiles, birds, and assorted wildlife. Once brought to the facility, these exotic animals are housed in naturalistic settings. Allowing propagation that relieves the need for wild caught specimens. Currently, this facility houses 16 species of animals listed on CITES. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora is an international treaty to prevent species from becoming endangered or extinct because of international trade. The Crazy Critters organization has produced offspring from species currently found on the IUCN's Red List. Established in 1964, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of animal, fungi and plant species. Crazy Critters Inc. is a self-funded organization that depends on the greenhouse nursery to pay for the cost of housing exotic animals. The facility grows and sells species of plants such as succulent and cactus to support the care of the animals. Many too are listed on the IUCN's Redlist.
