🇬🇧 Scientific Name: Corucia zebrata
Common Names: Monkey-Tailed Skink

📝 Description:
The Monkey-Tailed Skink, scientifically known as Corucia zebrata, is a fascinating lizard native to the Solomon Islands. Appreciated by herpetoculturists, this skink is recognizable by its prehensile tail and arboreal behavior. With its impressive size and relatively docile nature, it is becoming increasingly popular.

🏞️ Habitat:
In the wild, Monkey-Tailed Skinks inhabit the tropical forests of the Solomon Islands. They prefer humid and wooded environments, spending most of their time in trees. In captivity, it is essential to recreate a similar habitat with sturdy branches for climbing, dense vegetation, and a moist substrate for their optimal well-being.

🍃 Feeding:
Monkey-Tailed Skinks are primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves, flowers, and fruits in their natural habitat. In captivity, it is important to provide them with a varied diet composed of leafy green vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers. Occasionally, they may consume insects or small invertebrates, but this should remain infrequent.

🌿 Environment:
To ensure the well-being of Monkey-Tailed Skinks in captivity, a spacious terrarium with good height is recommended. The environment should include branches for climbing, hiding spots, and dense vegetation. High humidity and moderate temperature are essential. An appropriate day/night cycle with Zone 2 UV light helps maintain their overall health.

💧 Hydration:
Hydration is crucial for Monkey-Tailed Skinks. Daily misting of the enclosure in the evening helps to keep the animal hydrated.
