We rarely take pictures of these special skinks. These are True Berber Skinks (Eumeces algeriensis). In our experience these skinks tend to be shy. They do come out to bask each morning. Shortly thereafter, they retreat under the substrate or to their hides.

Unfortunately there seems to be very few keepers working with these animals. Captive-bred babies are seldom available.
