Description
Hosmer’s skinks are stocky skinks that grow to 23 centimetres long, nearly half of which is the tail. The scales on their body have 3-4 sharp points (or keels) and the scales on the tail each have a long spine.
He will pant to cool itself if it gets hot.
They social animals found in northern Queensland and the Northern Territory near the Gulf of Carpentaria. They live in small colonies in rocky outcrops, hiding under crevices and the gaps between boulders. When alarmed, the skinks wedge themselves against the rocks, puffing their bodies out so that their spines grip the rock. This makes them very hard to remove.
They eat insects, leaves, shoots and berries.
