Garden skinks.

I'm sick of chasing these things around the backyard. Thinking of setting up a captive population of them (I laughed at the thought, too). Does anyone have any experience with this? Was thinking of chucking half a dozen adults in together. Reckon they would breed? There's a nice termite mound outside I could use for food, too.

If anyone in Brisbane feels like catching them, I'll give them $2 per adult skink!

They'd need more than just termites. They need a varied diet, also they might not ajust to beeing kept in a bucket or tank but if they're happy with their surroundings they should breed.

Licencing in Qld sounds great, you can't do that in NSW.

I'm about an hours drive from you Mick...might be a bit far.

Hix - we're allowed to legally take them from the wild for food...I think you can too.

Only a little over 2 hours. I thought you said you lived in Brisbane and your mum was in Noosa or something?
