I'd like to point out that they are almost all Mabuya from (as far as my knowledge tells me) Southernish Africa...say, isn't that where you live!? I have ONE lizard in the province in Canada where I live and it's about a 7 hour drive south from the city I live in. UNFAIR! Besides, I have more diversity.

I could get some of those, a pair, for 500$ with cage. I declined. Corucia is nice, so is lamprolepis. I have too many skinks, my girlfriend is allowing the flood of lizards (and adding to it). Soon we'll be swamped. NOOOOO!

Heh, a Lamprolepis was one of my first pets...ever. Too bad the pet store gave me a 5 gallon Critter Keeper, heat rock, sand, and mealworms, and said that's all I needed. Needless to say, he didn't last long. Also needless to say, I've learned a lot more since I was in 1st grade

Congrats on the new skinks! Croc skinks are definately nice

tisbe awesomesauce. I've not seen them yet, nor will I for a few days. My girlfriend handled the transaction (with approval), adding "I can see now why you love reptiles so much. I think I am developing a problem, I'm becoming addicted".

Not bad for being introduced to her first reptile a little over a year ago.
