Ever Since 1994 when wild-caught specimens of Crocodile Skinks Tribolonotus spp.... (Dumeril and Babron 1839)  became available throughout the Herpetological world. These unique, strange and fascinating little Skinks have been sort after. Unfortunately still very little is known about their activities and habitats, they have escaped the Amateur Herpetologists eye until now. Two main species of Crocodile Skink have become available since 1994,  the Tribolonotus Gracilis  (DE ROOY, 1909) being the most popular and easier to get hold of, and the other being the slightly stockier built, Tribolonotus Novaeguinea (Schlegel, 1834).

With the design of this website site "FULLY CONCENTRATING ON TRIBS", I hope to teach people more about these creatures, and on the way I hope you become as interested in Crocodile Skinks as I am.
