What to get?

[hornet]

I'm getting new skinks soon and have a choice of a few species but not too sure what to get. On offer i believe are Carlia vivax, Ctenotus robustus, narrow banded sand swimmers and broad banded sand swimmers. Tell me what you think i should choose and why.

 

[bigi]

i recon the Ctenotus robustus,

 

[hornet]

yea thats what i'm thinking

 

[James..94]

Nephrurus levis
Get the Ctenotus robustus

 

[SomeGuy]

Carlia vivax or Ctenotus robustus

 

[gycho]

Get a pair of each y choose when ya can have em all lol

 

[1issie]

I'd say both!!

 

[monitordude]

where you getting them from and also theres some pricky forest skinks on reptiles down under for $200

 

[JasonL]

Pfftt, If you have never kept swimmers get them, they are the best small skink around imo.

 

[hornet]

Prickly forests are nice lookin skinks but from what i have been told spend all their time hiding. Have decided on Ctenotus robustus for now

 

[kupper]

Good choice mate ..... there pretty cool once they get used to you and get past there skittish stage

 

[hornet]

yea, they are bout a month old and feeding well so looking forward to getting them, not sure how many i'm getting but i'm not too fussed they are a nice lookin skink and a good start to building my collection back up

 

[kupper]

Just keep an eye on them mate as there known to be little terrors to tank mates

 

[hornet]

will do, i will be giving them basking stacks so there will be plenty of room for them to hide so hopefully there wont be any issues

 

[kupper]

you know what your doing just throwing my two bobs worth in

 

[hornet]

much appreciated mate, never had any experience with this genus so i'm open to any suggestions from what i have been told they are dead easy but it cant hurt to get as much advice as possible

 

[kupper]

They are pretty easy until one decides it doesn't like the other one (usually males) but females will fight too plenty of food and space and you cant go wrong
