Five-lined Skink (WC)

[little98dime]

Hey guys and gals. I just caught a five-lined skink in my house and decided I would like to keep if possible. what do I need to make it comfortable? I did a little reading on them and they dont seem much different from leos aside from a basking light. what would the best substrate be? do they need a humid hide? do they need regular misting? I have him in a 20 long for now with a light for a basking spot, but I feel he needs more. BTW its just a juvie and it has a regrown tail.

hmm, i kept mine on moist dirt, just use what's around your house, dirt, leave litter, hides, and maybe a few plants, and a basking log, NO sand, there more of a temperate forest lizard.
