Photos of My 2010 Meraukes

Postby Iceman » Fri Aug 26, 2011 5:09 pm

As it was a pretty nice, but not too hot, day out, I took some of the younglings outside to photograph. These are all what many would call "New Age Mearukes". They are not classics, and I am not billing them as such.

Up first is Junior, my only holdback from the seven Virginia x Santiago 2010 pairing. Junior is about 400 grams.

Image


Next is Vern, I got him from Dr. Doug Dix at Deerfern Farms. he is the largest of the bunch at about 560 grams.

Image

Next is Fern, also from Dr. Dix.

Image

One of two from Carolina reptiles, Mercury has about the boldest bands of the group.

Image

And Finally, Freddie. Freddie is also from Carolina Reptiles.

Thank you for looking, and if you would like to see more photos of any of the skinks, I have plenty.

Gorgeous. Very clean lines with minimal flecking on the back - none of mine are that clean. Junior has great colors and beautiful speckly legs!

I love how well they all pair - there are so many variations of Meraukes out there and all yours are quite consistent. They are a great breeding group!

Just to add, here's two more of VirginiaXSantiago 2010 "babies":

Maddie: 280g

Not a great picture because she's quite yellow.

Jazz: 320g

Do they both look female? Just curious...
