So I’m on the newer side to reptiles. I currently have a Crested Gecko. I want to get a Red Eyed Crocidile Skink. I’ve already bought the terriarium for him but need help building it out. I’ve seen so much online its kind of confusing and I want to make sure I do everything right. Where do I get products? How do I actually do it? I plan on making in bioactive.

That’s awesome welcome to the community. I’m sorry I can’t help. But I’ve seen the red eye croc skinks and they’re so sick! They look like mini dragons. Can’t wait to see you post pictures of them

Welcome! I’ve never kept red-eyed crocodile skinks, so I can’t offer any first-hand advice, but I can certainly direct you to some resources.
I know that Reptiliatus on YouTube breeds them and has several videos on how he sets them up and cares for them, so that might be a good channel to check out. Some of his care videos might even have links to where you can buy various products.
There are several online vendors that sell all kinds of reptile supplies. Josh’s Frogs, Reptile Basics, Dubia.com, and Biodude would all be good places to look, especially if you don’t have a good reptile-inclusive pet shop that’s local to you.
Just a heads up that I believe crocodile skinks can be on the delicate side. Maybe that’s changing a bit as they become more available captive bred, but you’re going to want to make sure you do your research and have your husbandry dialed in for these guys. I’d recommend getting everything set up and then just ensuring that you can maintain stability with temps and humidity at the right levels for at least a couple weeks before purchasing the animal.
