What kind of skink is this? I believe it's an Indonesian, possibly halmahera? His name is Bruce Wayne Dickinson!

Thank you! Everywhere I've read says these guys are normally wild caught, however mine is captive bred from a local mom and pop pet store. Is that rare or are captive bred halms/indos pretty common now?

Pretty common for people to claim they breed Halmaheras, but rare to find anyone who actually has bred them. :wink: Gravid imports that drop are usually the case when you see them labeled as "CB".

Quick indoor photo of Ms. Canada. Super glad I kept her back! I love the orange coloration she has coming in on her nape stripe.

Here's a picture of my Irian Jaya Bluey! Still not sure the gender, but s/he is the friendliest lizard ever.

Another picture of Indigo, my Irian Jaya Bluey. She looks annoyed in this picture, but she seemed pretty content with chillin on the dining room table.

Very cool, Rich. I like the dotted pattern.

This is the loan female Northern. 50 days since first mating, and 47 days since ovulation (suspected). Already quite a fat skink, so hard to judge if she "looks" gravid. :lol: Three days of solid matings, so hopefully she took. She will be going into the birthing tank in a few days.

The first two pictures are of my Halmahera called Baby Blue. I managed to snap a few pics of her in her enclosure after a thorough misting. She's pretty anti social and isn't a big fan of being handled. The last picture is of my IJ, Indigo again. She's the complete opposite in terms of friendliness. She loves to come out and explore :)

This old fart was lounging around, so I took a snap. I really like the black contrasting with the peachy coloration on his sides. I bred him with the female posted above for their large black portholes. Hopefully will have some nice looking bubbas born here in about a month if all goes well...
