breeders?

Can anyone direct me do a breeder of fire skinks? I cant seem to find one, or does anyone know of another small species of skink that could live in a ten gallon?

You can search around the classified section of kingsnake.com, I believe LLL reptile has fireskinks for sale as well.

I had a crestie for a while.......and it escaped and got smashed in a door .......i dont want anything arboreal for a while.............i felt so bad I just dont want to worry about escapes..........................i think that a pictus would be cool..........plus they arent that popular yet and at least if I bred some there would be less competition for sale...........it was too hard to sell baby Leopard Geckos because there was so many for sale that everybody had one or found one at a nearby petstore.................i think the pictus are very interesting little geckos too...........ill probably go with that......

Pictus Gecko sounds like a great choice for you! Crested Geckos are little acrobats...the monkeys of the herp world! Sorry to hear about your little guy

I reccomend Gold skinks if you don't wanna hold it, cause they are fantastic. Berber skinks are great for holding, they are pretty too. Both those species are very smart and agile.

Fire skinks work, so do rainbow skinks and green tree skinks (might need more than a 10 gallon). I might be getting into fire skink breeding soon, by the way.
