Hi, the ad is supposed to be on herptrader but seems to be missing in action along with the pictures. There are currently only 11 specimens in captivity but thankfully all adults are unrelated. My clutch of three turned into a clutch of four last night as another emerged from the burrows. Great little skink. Most un-Egernia like in temperament. I run mine with crested dragons and central netteds.

They have 4 adults at the reptile park and hatched 4 little critters. they are a few months old now and are running around and very alert. A skink with eliptical pupils. Love their eyes

Sorry Chewy, There are 11 that I am aware of in PRIVATE hands. Taronga and the Desert Park in Alice also maintained them for some time.

Wow, they look just like little itty bitty aliens dont they, what a cool little lizard. What sort of setup would you need to care for these little guys?

Very basic. Decent heat lamp as they like in hot
deep sand to allow for burrowing. Thats about it
