Very interesting. did the adult skinks breed in your enclosure or female was aquired with eggs?

Not totally sure....she was probably gravid at the time...females are easy to catch when we got her in late spring.We're lucky to have an abundance of them here.We had a male who was caught full grown who lived another 4 years...he would hibernate when temps got near 60 in the house.GOD BLESS...
