I saw those tiny tiny tiny guys!I picked up a pair of juvinile Lampropholis delicata. Been a pain trying to obtain them legitamately lol finally keeping a small skink species.
Thanks Stu! A few big strips of bark, some hollow logs, sand, coir peat, leaf litter and bobs ya mother’s brother.Very cool Stompsy!!!
I’m a little infatuated with Skinks at the moment! I went to the expo with them on my mind to purchase, although I didn’t expect to bring home 4.Good find Stompsy. Small skinks are underrated. They're amazing little creatures. Shame that the species list in WA doesn't support them.
I wasn't planning to upload this photo because I didn't like the harsh lighting, but I'll upload it anyway because I like the story behind it. This wild little Crevice Skink was found in a rock outcrop at my cousin's place. I was amazed at how bold and curious she was. I was literally sitting on top of her rocky domain, and while she did retreat at first, she quickly came out to investigate me and the camera. I spent hours in the summer sun trying to get a good shot of her but the lighting simply wasn't working with me. Through it all she didn't seem to mind my presence at all. It was such a great experience, asides from getting sunstroke, that is.

Thanks! I’m pretty happy with them and they were fun to put together. I hope the little guys are stomping around them enjoying themselves right now whilst I’m at work!i find them the complete opposite of boring, those enclosures look amazing too!

So far, the Whites Skinks are the most curious. I left them in the enclosure whilst creating it and they were torn between fleeing and investigating me. They seem to be fairly tolerant of me moving around the enclosure so far, most of the time they just sit and watch me, tongues flicking occasionally.
The easterns haven’t been as brave just yet, but I’m hoping their new setup and the cover it provides will give them more security and in turn, make them a little less flighty!
Overall, I’m extremely happy with them all. and I don’t even care if people think they’re boring... I most certainly don’t.
