Playing with Fire

2. September 2001
3. Why I picked this aricle was because the title sounded interesting.

4. What I liked about this article was that it had a picture that looked like the African fire skink was in leaves with fire. Another thing I liked about this article was that it told me alot about them. I also liked it because it told me most of the stuff I needed to know for the queations I have to do.  Last thing I liked about the article was that there was stuff at the botton or the side of every picture about that picture.
5.  What I learned from this article is that the African fire skink is only available in limited numbers. I also learned that the African fire skink is in captibty. Another thing I learned in this article is that when breeding the African frie skink in the winter months lower the tempperatures over a couple weeks and reduce feeding before the cooling begins and stop it completely once temperatures have dropped. Last thing I learned from this article is that they don't get very big at all.
6.  Yes I do have a question about this article. My question is why are they called African fire skinks.
7. Yes this is about a particular animal. The animal it is about is the African fire skinks.

E. The cost of the African fire skink morphs are about $50 or more.
F.
G. The Afrian fire stink is endangered in the wild.
H. I looked on google and saw nothing about permits for African fire stinks so i'm thinking you don't need a permit to have one.
I. These African fire skinks are kept in capivty. Why because people buy them as pets.
8. The care requirements for the African fire skinks are you need some bark or mulch so it can hide it in.  A shallow dish of water so they can lay in it. They need  this light thing for at least 12 to 14 hours a day. The African fire stink needs to get mist about once a dy but should not be kept wet or it might get sick. In the colder mounths yu sould have a heating mat 24 hours a day. You need a 20 to 30 gallon tank up to three can fit in it. They can eat crickets, mealworms, small amount of fruit. They can have earthworms as a treat they love to eat them. They can also eat some kinds of dog food. Some adults might eat pinky mice but not many will. Make sure theres alot of hiding spaces so they can hide cause they love to. They can live up to 10to 20 years.
9. The African fire stink is considered an beginner pet I think.
10. The most interesing thing I learned from the African fire stink is that it will eat some kinds of dog food.
