Rosie is by far our sweetest skink. She's amazing. There's a small possibility that she's gravid to. She locked up once. Fingers crossed

Nope, special Ed was bought from Jordan Russell as a white northern. He got the animal from Linda at Switzer reptiles who got him from a breeder in florida. I guess hes just a lighter animal. He had MBD bad when we got him. After some TLC and allot of RescueCal he's great, minus a kink or two in his tail. He had a HORRIBE overbite that corrected itself as he grew

Oh and Rosie and Abby are sisters, although they look nothing alike.

For the members that have been here for many years, wasn't there another white Northern named Lisa a while ago?

Yes!

Yeah Rex is an odd animal. I got him at the time as Abby and Rose. He's a very large animal, with a sweet personality. A nearly useless breeder though :? I made the mistake of pairing him with Abby first and he was TERRIFIED of her.

I'm pretty sure the seller said he was from a Caramel x normal pairing, but don't quote me on that lol I have an awful memory.

Shingles hopefully! I've been looking for a pair of shingles for five years. But other than that, I'd be interested in tanimbars or any Australian species

For tanimbars go to Ray ( thunderbayherps.com) and/or Andrew ( seikereptiles.com ).
And for Easterns goto Ray ( thunderbayherps.com) he usually has a ton.
