you can keep skinks in vivariums and terrariums or even well ventilated fish tanks. the size of the cage depends on how big the skink is. if your skink is small like a sandfish, berber skink or an emerald tree skink you will need a 24 inch tank. but if it is a plated lizard or lined skink it will need a 36 inch tank.
Three species of lizards are found in MN. The common five-lined skink The prairie skink The six-lined racerunner. Prairie skinks and six-lined racerunners are not found in the area around Braham, according to range maps. Five-lined skinks are found throughout the State. It is rather unlikely that you will find them within the limits of any town or city, but you may find them in a nearby nature preserve, prairie, park, or other wild area. Rice Creek SWMA would be a good place to search. Keep in mind that these small, fast, alert lizards have excellent eyesight and hearing, and you will need to be on top of your game to ever see one.

How to care for snake eyed skinl
Tree frogs need, lighting and heating. so a heat lamp for above the terrarium or a heat pad below it. The frogs also need hydrometers and thermometers to make sure the temperature is always near perfect. they also need a water dish for them to sit in. they need either dirt, coconut shavings, moss etc for the ground. things to perch and climb on would be nice as well, like tall logs or sticks. they also need hiding places meaning stick-on leaves or such for their terrarium. and yeah...that is about it, hope i helped :)
The glass box that reptiles are commonly kept in is called a terrarium. It simulates the natural habitat of the reptile and provides them with the appropriate heat, light, and humidity they need to thrive.
Lizards need a little cave house, a water bowl, a fake plant in their cage, and a plastic thermometer.
