Observations on Mating Behavior of the Solomon Island Skink
Corucia zebrata, the Solomon Island skink, also called the Prehensile-Tailed skink or the Monkey-tailed skink, has become a very popular choice for a pet lizard. A
number of factors contribute to this popularity: they are large animals, they are herbivorous, they are relatively calm and nonaggressive, most animals can be handled,
and they exhibit a wide range of appealing behaviors. These lizards were not routinely available until the late 1980's when they began to be imported in large numbers
from the Solomon Islands, the only place to which they are endemic. [eng]
