If a skink has no food in it's gut it can go days, weeks, even months without needing to warm up (read up on brumation over the winter) but they are attracted to light. Turn off any lighting where you think they have hidden for the winter for caution's sake. Harmless, beautiful and beneficial to plants and humans as their favorite snacks are insects, bugs, crickets, flies, mosquitoes and roaches.
Some people plant local native grasses and ground covers to protect them. A thick ground cover gives lizards plenty of good places to hide. While others plant berry or nectar producing local natives as these will attract insects for lizards to eat
