Mmmm...shinglebacks!!

[Nome]

Hi all,

Just wanted to share that I got my first lizards...well skinks yesterday!!


I got a lovely foursome of caramel shinglebacks!!!! I'm so very happy with them, and they are the most adorable cuddly things. They are currently being quarantined in our dining room so we are seeing them all the time at the moment. I've been trying to get some ever since I saw Tenille's pair and had a cuddle, they were so adorable (tenille = iluvsmyreptiles/incredible_reptiles).

I'll post some pics of them and my snakes in my new album (Nome's album) soon when we get the camera fixed. At the moment, there are pics in there of my other passion - tarantulas, so have a peek at them ,they are truly fascinating creatures :wink:

Well Sherm my old whatever. If you dont mind a bit of defecation now and then and you have no spots where they cant be extraceted from or escape through you can. I had them and blueys that lived in my flat in Waverton about 20 years agoThey had plenty of sun and they always slept under the bed at night. I had there food bowl in the kitchen and in the morning they would come out from under the bed and start their trek around the flat following the walls and the sun.

I have a friend who had a bluey (on licence) living under her washing machine for ages. she just left water out for it and out snails out every few days.
