Meet Slink! (and an ID please!)

Postby Lostinbrum » Sat Mar 24, 2012 4:32 pm

Here is Slink my very first BTS! Had her for a few weeks now and she (Correct me if im wrong i dont know for sure!) is getting braver coming out and about. Im trying to get her to come out of her own accord and she will come out of the viv onto my hand for some food and is generally getting more curious :)

Shes 6 months old and I reckon a Merauke but could anyone confirm this?

BTW the marks on her back are bites from the other larger skink she was in with at the pet shop, They are healed now just discoloured ( a more sensible person would have got the other one without the bite marks and a kink in the tail but I liked her more !) Sorry for the overload!!
