Tribolonotus Gracilis Adult
Tribolonotus gracilis is a species of skink found in New Guinea. They live in tropical forests and have also been found in human-populated areas. They are commonly known as Red-Eyed
Crocodile Skinks, or, rarely, Red-Eyed Bush Crocodile Skinks.
Red-Eyed Crocodile Skinks can be sexed using the pores on their front feet as only males have these "pores". Females have only a single working ovary (right ovary), laying one egg at a time.
Tribolonotus Gracilis Egg
The female often curls around the egg. They show tendencies for mother-child family groups. Male
crocodile skinks will battle other males for females and females can be territorial as well
