Monkey Tail Skink pics

Never measured it, but this one is about 2-2.5ft It has never shown the first sign of aggtession, but I usually wear gloves to handle it b/c it's ravor sharp claws kinda hurt as it climbs up my arm. After all, it was designed for climbing. Plus, in addition to it's claws it has a powerful grip perfect for making it's way upward.

My all time favorite skink species! She's a beauty Is she a little thin though? Looks like I can see her hip bones.

I love the first picture, looks like the skink is saying "i'm coming to get you!" The enclosure looks very nice too. I love prehensile tailed skinks.

BTW- did the skink attack the blinds in the background or what? LOL

No, the skink didn't attack the blinds, my Rottweiler did.
I just got her not to long ago. I had some goats and her first day here she got ahold of one of them. Didn't hurt it, but surely to be emotionally scared for life.
We kept the Rotty in the house until we could find the goats a home. She saw the goats from the window and you see the result.

Yeah, I think its just her pattern. The light spots right on her hips accent them and make them stand out a bit.
