It is part of the Tribolonotus genus, often referred to as crocodile skinks due to their rough, keeled scales and distinctive ridged appearance along the back and tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1699\" data-start=\"1395\"\u003eThis species has a dark brown to black body with lighter patterns along the flanks, and its spiny scales provide camouflage among leaf litter and fallen logs. Unlike many skinks, it exhibits a semi-terrestrial, shy behaviour and spends much of its time hidden under debris or within dense ground cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1964\" data-start=\"1701\"\u003eIn captivity, Slender Crocodile Skinks benefit from a humid, forest-floor style setup with ample hiding spots, leaf litter, and shallow water for drinking and soaking. Maintaining high humidity and gentle handling encourages normal behaviour and overall health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia UK","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":52873055240529,"sku":"red-eyed-crocodile-skink - 001","price":99.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/Tribolonotus-Gracills_1.jpg?v=1769511087","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/red-eyed-crocodile-skink","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
