Looking great! Hunter looks like he has some beautiful reddish tones. You are very lucky.
Where are you housing them all now you have so many?

I have five 55 gallon enclosures. They are all in my bedroom, since they can't go anywhere else in the house, but Hunter and Virginia are on the other side of the room. I'm keeping a close eye out for anything and everything.

Re: Terrible news! Not so terrible after all. *UPDATE*
Can we see some pictures of your setups? I'm interested to know how you fit all those tanks into a bedroom! Must be a great space for you with all those skinks around you.

I turned all the heat lamps off so the photo wouldn't come out weird.

Re: Terrible news! Not so terrible after all. *UPDATE*
Oh wow, you must have skink filled dreams sleeping surrounded by all that
What a beautiful pair, congrats! I love Virginia's colouring, but I love Hunter's striping.
After they are settled in can you weigh Virgina and tell us? She looks good and hefty.

Re: Terrible news! Not so terrible after all. *UPDATE*
Wow. Cramped a bit, aren't you? How does the heat regulate with the tanks so close? You'll have to watch for hot spots.

Re: Terrible news! Not so terrible after all. *UPDATE*
The enclosures are together to were all the hot-spots are. Besides Xaunder, his is a bit off.. but the temperatures seem fine.. All hot sides together, and all cold sides away from each other.. or on the same end, as it is in Virginia and Hunter's case.

Sorry, just seen this comment.. but anyways, I do not have a scale to measure the skinks in.. but I've been meaning to get one for like.. ever!
..and yes, they are gorgeous! Hunter is kinda skittish, but Virginia doesn't have the care in the world!
