depends what type of skink, some are like the eastern water skinks. I have them and they are friendly, i think garden skinks can become quite tame if you handle them frequently..

Prices vary i wouldnt say they are expensive its more of a matter of waiting for them to become available as not many ppl breed the smaller ones!

 

[edstar]

hope u find em!

 

[the jungle guy]

thanks jesskie

 

[1issie]

If licenses didn't exist we could keep what we find in the wild!!!.
Wish you didn't need a license to keep 1 skink in other states luckily the basic list of sa lets you keep 1 animal off that list without a license!!!

These skinks are drop tails arent they? Will they always drop their tails whilst being handled.

 

[jamesn48]

They don't tend to drop their tails unless you try to pick them up by their tails,and after a while they just settle down and stop oving on your hands.

 

[jesskie]

Thanks edstar me too!!!!!!!!

----

1issie.. But how could u breed them with only one or do you mean one species??

---

Yeh the drop tail thing is more of a defence in the wild, bird grabs skink.. skink drops tail.. tail moves around distracts bird.. bird goes for tail.. while mr lizard gets away They dont come off when you handle them, unless your rough :S

 

[Asharee133]

heh, and when you rub their bellies they close their eyes and dont move!

 

[Thomo86]

jesskie here in sa we can keep one reptile off license . if we wanna breed then we need a license for the second.

 

[jesskie]

ohh ok cool thomo86
