There's probably a few threads out there already but I thought it would be good to have a new thread to see what skinks people are keeping these days.

Here's one of mine. I really should stop acquiring more reptiles . . . But a skink wasn't the only new addition! :confused:

A King's Skink (Egernia kingii), one of my favourite lizards. I've had many fond memories of them.

A Lancelin King's Skink. She's such a sweetie, happy to eat from your hands and doesn't appear to mind being handled. Very inquisitive. Also a great poser!

After this she decided to headbutt the camera and then climb up my arm.

I'm not sure if you can get much goofier than this. Hopefully I can get some decent photos of the male. He's much more shy and as is typical for King's Skinks, doesn't like to be handled.
 
The plant in the photo below is Hakea laurina. The adult pair like to nibble on the flowers sometimes. This little bloke hasn't quite figured out what to do with it, however.

The female is usually the one on top, but not today it would seem.

they get around the size of a bluetongue - 30-55cm, tho usually stay in the 40's, next time you could use google tho, very helpful if you want quick answers.
 
Is that Egg?

Nah it's wet mushed Vetafarm lizard pellets, he has that sometimes and dog food/snails.

can PTS eat egg? i'm guessing it would have to be raw yeah?

Ah!

Looks like scrambled egg!

I feed my Monitors egg but have never tried it with the Pinkies... and I give it both raw and cooked, depending on the animal.
