Sandfish Skink Lizard - Scincus scincus @$22.50

The Sandfish (Scincus scincus) is a species of skink that burrows into the sand and swims through it. It is native to North Africa. This species is very simple to care for and perfect for children since they practically never bite. Sandfish Skinks have a long, wedge-shaped snout with a countersunk lower jaw. Its long tapered body is covered with smooth, shiny scales, its legs are short and sturdy with long and flattened fringed feet. The tail is short tapering to a fine point. The colouration of this species would be considered attractive being yellow-caramel with brown-black cross bands. The Sandfish it well adapted to life in the desert, in its natural environment it's a fast moving agile reptile, being able to “swim” through the sand with ease. In captivity this is a fairly hardy species as long as the basic requirements are met.
