What is the life cycle of Australian garden skink?

The life cycle of the Australian garden skink begins with the female laying eggs in moist soil or leaf litter, typically in spring or early summer. The eggs incubate for about 6-8 weeks before hatching into small skinks. These juveniles are independent from birth, feeding on small insects and other invertebrates. As they mature, they undergo several molts, eventually reaching adulthood within a year, where they can live for several years in the wild.
