Arid habitat animals. Panel of experts consider you need more experience to keep them. Rare as all getout this part of the continent. 25 on the list in NSW last year.
They are of course only worth what people will pay.
Another thing is that they come in different colour forms as well.

They are a beautiful species of skink. Bob, what is the cause of the ulcerations?

Simon,
The ulcerations appear to be caused with constant contact with Urates and dirty substrate.
I was warned by Glen Shea when I first got my Centralian Bluetongues 12 years ago that not many people had kept them longer then 2 years due to the sores killing them.
He was right. Within 6 months mine had started to develope the sores. We treated the sores but they kept returning as we had not addressed the cause. After trying so many different substrates which all failed, I finally found rice husks. Since using the husks I have never had the sores back.
The rice husks are not absorbent, so any urates go straight to the bottom, leaving the lizards suspended on a dry surface. Simply clean when ever dirty, and" Bobs you uncle", no problems at all.

Noone,
You buy them from produce stores. I beleive they are mainly sold as bedding for horses.
Reptile 1989
Rice husks are exactly that. The husk taken off grains of rice before packaging the rice for sale
Peter,
Yes I saw they are now gone. As you said they are only worth what someone is willing to pay. Well "someone" paid a awlfull lot for just 3 lizards

First sentence of the new ad is worded the same as the $3200 ad. Maybe the same guy is selling of others of his collection?  :
