Cunninghams skinks and skin regrowth

[SpilotaFreak78]

Hey I've got a cunninghams skink that was recently injured from a burn. I just wanted to ask if others have had situations where these skinks regrew skin and limbs and etc and would like to talk about their experiences?

Your best off putting a photo up, it will depend on the severity.
did it lose a limb from the burn?
Being a member of the skink family I highly doubt it will regrow a limb, bluetongues don't regrow toes, neither do crocs regrow limbs or pythons regrow tails. But the skin will heal over.

I had an Egernia stokesii at the WA Museum for over 15 years, it was removed as an adult from the area of a brake drum on a 4wd , and had a huge burn to the skin on its back (brakes get very hot...) It healed over a period of about 6 months, never regrew scales, and had a significant permanent scar, but was otherwise in excellent health throughout its life. It was an intelligent & friendly lizard. They make lovely pets.
