Skinks are known to be opportunistic predators (e.g., Suranjan Karunarathna and Thasun Amarasinghe 2010; Manicom and Schwarzkopf 2010; Civantos et. al. 2013). However, relatively few reports document the diets of skinks, especially predation on other reptiles (Attum et al. 2004; Civantos et al. 2013; Patil et al. 2021).
