A friend of mine kept them (illegaly) and funnily enough they bred for her.

 

[hornet]

yea, i have kept them before when it was legal for me to do so but now i want them on licence and try and get them to other keepers

there a great food sorce for burtons legless lizards, beardys love them too. ......................................oh yeah so do gts

 

[hornet]

only problems is they can carry disease and parasites. Best to stick with ahg for your burtons and dont feed lizards to gts or beardies

 

[Scleropages]

Intresting , how much would they go for on lisience?

I am guessing they woulden't be in a huge demand??

What makes you think an AHG has less parasites than a skink??????

No huge demand? I get dozens of people asking me for them every year!

I recently found a communal nesting site for these garden skinks. There must have been at least 50 or so eggs, both hatched and unhatched. They were in the holes of bricks that were stacked togeather.

 

[hornet]

i didnt say they have less but if you are going to use lizards as feeders use pest species not natives. Also not sure if burtons will accept thawed lizards but if they do then freeze them to kill of parasites

 

[chickenman]

i remember a episode of some show on the abc (creature features or something) and some girl was keeping them in a glass fish tank and they were laying eggs inside plastic dinosaurs and they were hatching

 

[herpie boy]

im from melbourne mate ....no ahg

 

[youcantryreachingme]

Just wondering - did they come through? Can you let us know where to buy these legally, and/or similar skinks? I'm in NSW.

Thanks.
