I can't remember if I posted this old photo before, but I came across it while going through old photos, and I thought some of you might like it. This male Eastern Common BTS (Tiliqua scincoides scincoides) was being introduced to a female that turned out to be unrecptive. Unfortunately, the male did not care, and when I stepped inbetween to stop his advances, he figured my shoe wound suit his needs just as well. He tried to breed my shoe with great determination, and when I pick my foot up, he did not care. He was not letting go for anything. Looks like Jeff is right. I am mean...

I'm thinking the same thing! What came of this guy? Did he just get old and pass on?
My big eastern male was about this determined this year as well, they are feisty little beasts!
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Not sure, The skink was actually a friends, or at least someone I thought was a friend. He collected a lot of BTS and other reptiles, but he turned out to be a pretty bad guy, and it got to the point where I had to stop associating with him as a result. It was a shame, beccause so many really cool reptiles, including some very rare BTS, either died from neglect. Many others lived their entire lives in a tank and were never bred simply because he was often not willing to sell them or do breeding loans. This young male Eastern was a perfect example of one of these wasted opportunities. Maybe some time I will talk more about the situation. Unfortunately, his name is the same as one of the best guys on this forum or the entire BTS world for that matter. I just do not want to ever have people get these two completely different individuals confussed. I will provide some photos of of a couple of the skinks I was able to help toward the end. The cases pictured here were nothing compared to many of the other things I ended up seeing, and in the end, he left me no other choice but to involve the Humane Society.
This Skinks tail loss was not due to a cage mate or handling accident. It was cooked off from an extreem overheating situation where the skink put his entire body up the corner of the tank while his tail remained on the tank bottom and literally cooked resulting in its loss.

Re: Angry Eastern
Oh my god, James!! Sounds absolutely horrific! No doubt you did the right thing involving the authorities, I only hope they were able to actually have some effect there.

Re: Angry Eastern
This person stopped keeping reptiles after the Humane society steped in, so yes, a huge impact was made, and many reptiles went to new homes. This is why I am not aware of where many of the BTS he once had are today. After I involved the authorities, he was not feeling very friendly toward me.

Re: Angry Eastern
I can't even imagine how hot it must have been to cook the tail off that poor skink. Sickening, but at least you were able to help put a stop to it.
