heres one of my gidgees skinks really would love some cute little babies from them but they haven’t bred in 5 or so years so I think I have 2 females but I’m really not sure they were candled from a young age to look like a pair, here’s some pictures for anyone who is interested in gidgees one of my favourite skinks

Very cool skinks!

Wicked looking tail... Are those spines actually hard and spiny or soft to touch??

 

[bluetongue]

There hard like a Cunningham skinks tail spikes

The spines are used as a defence, they'll shove them selves into a crevice with only their tails showing, Similar to echidnas.

Nice lizards and good looking set up.

Here’s a few more pictures of both my gidgees together they look like a pair never had babies from them although hoping she’s due this year as she’s looking slightly fat

I don't imagine it'd be pleasant for a mama skink giving birth to those spiny tails lol be like pushing out a pineapple. Lol

Cool, they are tanky 'little' critters. Hopefully she will pump a few minuture ones out for you
