Question
SPOTSNew to the world of reptiles. I love this lizard and need info on the care and do's and don'ts. Any literture or advice to search for other info. The library was very limited.  Thank you for your time.

Answer
Hi Tonya, Good choice, Schneider skinks are one of my favourites. I wish there was more captive breeding going on with this species as they make great reptile pets. I've included a few care sheets that are quite straight forward and complete so I won't repeat the info here in my message. Note that Schneiders are also commonly known as Berber skinks which may help you when looking for information. Enjoy your new pet.
