They are cute and never get any less cuter as they grow older.

They are cute, but do look fat and lazy :) Very cool skinks. Are these the ones for sale?

Yeah. We have 2 pairs, of which I want to keep one (but don't tell BV that hee hee) and we need to sell the other pair. They are really cute!

Buck to sex these guys is very difficult. Within 24 hours of birth you can pop them. You also have to twist the tail and this can be very dangerous. The hemipene still seems to hide behind a sheath at the base of the tail. Even the guys in Aus that breed the jet black and also albino blue tongues do not sex theirs and they just wait for them to grow up and then put various ones together.

I have two adults but have no idea what sex they are because they fight when I put them together so I am assuming they are two males.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

Hi
Do you still have these? And how much do you want for them?
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer by far , something rarer than ability.
It is the Ability to recognise Ability
