Back on Oct.22, I bought these 2 tiny little skinks called orange throat pygmy skinks. There was four in the tank but I only had a 10g. I couldn't find anything on them in particular. So, I contacted my friend at the store and she told me they were labeled with the sci. name of trachylepis striata. Even with that name that's the full-size lizard, not the pygmy ones. That care is almost identical to the fire skinks so, that's what I did.
Fast forward to today: both have died
I had been keeping the humidity around 70 misting 2xday with lots of hiding places, leafy plants and basking spot that was about 85. Kept a small bowl filled with fresh water and fed them 6-10 1/4inch crickets every other day.
But, today I woke up feeling like crap and spent most of the day sleeping and when I came to check on them(first time since turning lights on at 9 am) they were both dead.
Now I am wondering if anybody else had these or still may and might give me insight where I may have gone wrong.
