The enthralling little diurnal reptiles known as skinks (Carlia spp.) need an enrichment of their habitat that includes many climbing and hiding spots. Encouraging natural activities like climbing, exploring, and hiding is achieved by strategically putting pebbles, branches, and cork bark around the cage. This mimics their normal habitat.

Carlia spp. skinks benefit from having live plants in their habitat because they provide aesthetic value and encourage the skinks to explore their environment. When these skinks detect living plants, they may start to climb and explore more. To preserve the well-being of Carlia spp. skinks, it is necessary to ensure that the plants used are non-toxic.

Carlia spp. skinks' natural hunting skills may be stimulated via foraging activities. To make feeding more interesting and involve their senses, you may hide little food bits in the substrate or beneath things in the tank.

Carlia spp. skinks must have conditions that allow them to burrow. Skinks will participate in their natural digging behavior if you provide a substrate that is deep enough for burrowing and a specific place for it.

A tiny, impermeable mirror placed temporarily within the cage might provoke territorial tendencies in some reptiles, such as Carlia spp. skinks. As they engage with their own mirror, this stimulates their sense of touch.

To keep the Carlia spp. skinks' sense of touch and smell stimulated, try housing them in a cage with basking spots constructed of slate or flat stones. These alterations in feel have the potential to pique curiosity and motivate action.

Carlia spp. skinks rely heavily on their sense of smell, thus it's important to provide them with reptile-safe fabrics or things with different textures so they may explore their sense of smell. Before adding any things to the enclosure, make sure they are safe for Carlia spp skinks to engage with.
