Adding a new skink to the family.

Postby Millerk850 » Thu Aug 13, 2015 1:26 pm

Thinking of picking up this guy from the Daytona expo. The seller didn't personally breed it so I am somewhat skeptical. From the picture he looks very beautiful but does he look healthy?

That's a cool looking skink!
Good quality animals are always worth the extra money. Buying directly from good breeders always pays off.
I can't wait to meet the breeders at Daytona.
Good luck and let us know what you decide!
