Five Lined Skink? (blue tailed skink)

[Stitchex]

Hey guys, I'm just wondering the general care of these guys, I caught one from my yard today, I just want to keep it for a few days to have a chance to take some nice pictures of it. But I want it to be relatively comfortable in the little guy's stay lol, so I was wondering what the care would be? I already figured out that they burrowed, they're such interesting creatures! Thanks!

Make sure you dont live in Tennessee. They are a native animal and are illegal to have in your possession

Other than that, i guess try to mimic their natural habitat that you found it in. You could always google it.

soil/sand mix, 5-4 inches deep for burowing. Branches and rocks for climbing and hiding. Plants... water bowl, although I would mist as well.
