fortheloveofreptiles: Orange-eyed Crocodile Skink
- Imported from the Indonesian country of Irian Jaya on the western end of the island of New Guinea
- Little information is available on their natural habitat
- Adult specimens are solid dark reddish brown with a startlingly bright orange ring around the eye and grow to be around 8-10 inches in length
- They have a tail which will fall off if frightened, and juveniles will play dead if frightened as well. They play dead so well that some owners have thrown out live specimens before realizing they were still alive
