I wish you would feed those things enough so they don't have to eat their own flesh. There ought to be a law or something.

NICE! A sort of BTS Sacred Graal... Just a question mate: do you usually keep Centralian on paper due their belly scales delicateness or what? Thanks a lot. I'll keep my fingers cross for your HYGE female ;-)

I have kept them on sand and fake grass carpet to,which these guys will eventually get,probably carpet,much easier to maintain cleanliness that sand,plus alot lighter

I think there bellys are tough enough,its more there prone to skin infections if they damage it and in a messy cage

I love the centralians. They have that laid back shingleback attitude about them. A very cool cucumber. Perfect skinks, as usual, Richard!
