Thanks

I'm super excited. I was not expecting babies from her since she only bred once. Was changing the water for all the skinks and suddenly there were tiny skinks looking at me :cloud9:

Do adult skinks care for the young? I am not sure they do. I have read in a book to seperate them from the adults because the adults could trample the young. Congratulations, Fatal_S! They are spectacular.

Are you planning on finding the babies homes?

Fatal_S · Postby **Fatal_S** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 8:23 pm

Thanks everyone. They're doing fantastic and will hopefully have their first shed soon. They're so amazingly small and friendly and soft and curious and just wonderful.

Josh, the adults do not care for babies, but some moms can be protective. However, most moms ignore and occasionally a mom kills babies, so they were removed from mom as soon as I noticed them.

After a couple sheds I hope to find all 6 great new homes. I'll probably be pretty picky about who gets one. These are not only my first litter, but from my two most-brilliantly colored Northerns. I'm trying not to get too attached, but it's hard, and I've already got a favorite.

Way to go! They are nice looking little beauties for sure.

They are gorgeous!!

I absolutely love the dark colors on the parents, what a beautiful pairing. :woo:

Now to convince the boyfriend that we desperately need two or three of these little guys... :innocent:

I bet are attached to them! I would be too! You can only get these skinks to people in Canada right? Since it would be so tough and pricey for someone in the states to obtain them from you right, Fatal_S?

Fatal_S · Postby **Fatal_S** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 11:36 pm

Kat, if I had a way of knowing which would be females I'd send them home with you to help even out the population over there

Josh, for now, yes, I'll only be selling within Canada. I do know how to get skinks from the US, but haven't figured out how to send them back yet, so it's not a current option. In the future, it's possible.

I'm hoping the babies shed soon so I can take new pictures of their pretty colors. Right now they're all just dark and pretty much the same (except Tubby, my favorite, who's simply fat). They're now almost a week old and eating great. They're no longer as squishy as they were, and are very curious and active little guys.
