This charming Ocellated Skink is healthy, feeding reliably, and showing the bold spotting and clean, bright colouration characteristic of the species. Captive-bred and thriving, this young skink is currently housed in a secure 4ft terrestrial setup that provides the warmth, deep substrate, and hiding opportunities essential for proper development and burrowing behaviour.
Its pattern and colours will continue to refine and intensify as it matures.
