RE: keeping garden skinks

Netted and Bearded Dragons will certainly eat them and catching them is illegal, at least in most states. I dare say that using them as feed lizards for dragons is not ethical when they'll happily eat woodies or vegetables.

I've bred a few happy and healthy generations of two species of garden skinks without UV and I bought mine from someone who had been keeping them for a long time without UV. I'm thoroughly convinced that they don't require it.

Jack: breeding skinks is a lot more time consuming than force feeding pinkies, a heck of a lot more expensive and arguably worse for the snake (unless it was a small elapid which was going to be on a skink diet for its whole life). Which pretty snakes would you like to keep which need skinks? The only ones which need them are some of the small elapids.
