Skinks

Aside from BTS, what other species of skink are commonly kept? Also, are their any morphs out there?

I keep BTS (normal and reduced pattern), shinglebacks, cunninghams skinks, night skink, robust stripped skink, boulengers snake eyed skink and pink tongue skinks, should be getting a few more species soon

That's pretty cool!
I'm going on a shopping spree for my birthday at the next local reptile show (Jun 3rd) and I'll probably be buying a few species of skink.
I'm only starting with inexpensive and common species as a general beginner rule. I'm considering buying these species at the expo: Eumeces laticeps, E. obsoletus, Chalcides mionecton trifasciatus, E. schneideri (if I can find any) and maybe E. inexpectatus or Scincella lateralis.

Fire skinks <3. I had a monkey tailed skink as a teenager, fun like a bts but arboreal

Can someone give me any care details about the Broad Headed Skinks and Great Plains Skink? Can they be tamed if captive bred or captive raised from a juvenile?
What is the amount of space and humidity they require?

Edit: Also, any info on their breeding?

Check out Amphiglossus reticulatus... Not exactly common, but have awesome personality and are extremely docile.
