    Just don't sell them.

    I'm going to think about that then, I'll have a look around first, before I assume I can get some.

    What about unlicensed skinks and geckos??
    Just because it is ''common'' now, does not mean it will be so in the future.

    The problem with skinks and geckos from the "garden" is the parasite and disease problems associated combined with confinement.
    You also need to keep up a reasonable rate of supply.

    why not breed gecko's/skinks yourself? Feed 'em pinkies till you get a new clutch of skinks or whatever?

    I think it might be Qld?

    Plimpy, maybe try a beardy or bluetongue first, burton's aren't the best beginner reptiles.

    I know they aren't the best, I assumed so due to the diet, and I had a blue-tongue (sort of want another), I was just asking about it.

    We should be aloud to breed or catch Asian House Geckoes for live food, much better than feeding natives, although i don't think anyone would care to much if you fed a couple of garden skinks.

    the only problem with all of this is they AHG and Skinks do carry lots of paracites that are harmfull to Burtons..

    I wouldnt wast your time on a Burton,,, it will give you nothing but greif unless you choose the illigal feeding options,,
    but it is hard work...
    Does not play well with others...

    The other thing with Asian House Gecko's is we should be trying to eradicate them from Australia.
    As far as I know, they only reside on the east coast. I've had people ask me to ship some lives ones down, I could not do it.
    Just thinking of escapees.

    How do you feed them to your Burtons?
    As in do you quarantine them for a certain amount of time or just chuck them in?
    What do you do during the winter and do you have plans to wean them onto rodents?

    What's the point of even having them on the list of legal animals if it's illegal to feed it?
