NPWS (NSW) records for 2005 show only two species held - ten specimens of C. vivax and four of C. tetradactyla - one licensee holding each (possibly the same person).

they are a small species of skink, similar in size 2 a garden skink. breeding males can be very colourful.

Fairly basic, sand substrate, leaf litter and hides, eat small insects. A little heat sensitive to maintain 25-27 degrees. Egg layers
