I have them in a 40 gallon 36x18x18 with about 12x4x18 used up for water. Automatic misters 5 live plants. Sphagnum moss and pillow moss. About 2-3 inches of substrate. 2 pieces of cork bark. And im trying to feed them mealworms and waxworms. I have received a pair of wild caught skinks on May 31st and they have not eaten in my care and I'm starting to worry. I was hoping someone on here can tell me what to feed them or if i should do something differently. any help would be appreciated thank you.

These need UVB so that may help. How are your temps?

Try fast moving insects like Turkestan roaches or different things like earth worms to get feeding response. They stress easy so don't handle them and make sure they have ample space to hide away.

Your setup sounds perfect.

How recent WC are these? Were they acclimated and treated for parasites before sent to you? There are online sites that sell all sort of different prey items.
