Which kind of skink could this one be?

[iG]

Hey Everyone, I've wanted a skink for a while, but never really looked into it, though yesterday my girlfriend surprised me with this little guy, and since I'm a noob when it comes to skinks... I was wondering what kind of skink this one is...

ps: Also, I would appreciate it if any of you could link me to a reliable care sheet.

Thanks in Advance!

I'm not positive but it looks like a type of African Plated Lizard.

Yeah, I agree. It's either a Sudan or African Plated lizard. I personally can't pinpoint which one though.

It is a Yellow striped plated lizard (Gerrhosaurus flavigularis)
Here is a care sheet: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.jackspets.com/pet_tips/reptilehints/YELLOW%20THROATED%20PLATED%20LIZARD.htm">http://www.jackspets.com/pet_tips/repti ... LIZARD.htm</a><!-- m -->

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I appreciate it! The guy sold it to my girlfriend as a Rainbow Skink, when she told me that I was like "uhh...no." and knew I had to come here and find out exactly what it was. Once again... Thanks for the quick replies!
