Fire skinks or berber skinks? Fire skinks sell higher but will be more of a handful. They also have a lower incubation. Berbers have really nice attitudes though...ugh! Which to choose??? Anyone have any tie breaking suggestions?

2-0 is the score so far for fires. Eventually I'll breed em both and fires were the first one I wanted to breed. All depends on the upcoming alberta herp shows...if I find a berber for cheap (ie. 25 like I got my female for) I might just go with that. Anyone else got a vote?

Also, glad to know that you love their colors so much!! They are awesome...moody like most skinks but once you get them out of their soil they are usually fine.

lol keep in mind, my loyal fire skink friends, that the picture in question was during the WORST SHED OF IT'S LIFE! So the colors are usually better...more consistent on the back. Used to have all her toes and the very end of her tail too ...and she's an UGLY fire skink, most have a nice baby blue on the tail where the white spots are instead of white. Anyways, looks like fire skinks are landsliding. I'll start actively searching for a male asap and I'll be sure to put you all down for a "I'll buy at least 500 of your babies!" list, lol!
