Dear all,

Recently we've seen a couple of skinks on the forum that look a lot like ours and we would love to know if he is the same kind.

His name is Climber. We don't know any other skinks well but we feel he is probably the best skink ever. He is about a year and three months old (we got him a bit over a year ago); he is around 20 1/2 inches long. We're trying to post a couple of pictures, one full length and another where he seems to be reading up on ZooMed's lighting suggestions (he's very smart).

Thank you so much! We look forward to learning more about him.

Thank you all so much! We thought he might be, but it was hard to be sure. It definitely helps to get a few expert opinions.

This forum has been so helpful with info on just about everything. Climby's been a really wonderful pet and we appreciate all the good ideas we get here. I'm attaching one more picture of him being cute, because I love it when everybody else puts up their skink photos:
