If I opened any one of those tubs without knowing what was inside, I would probably pass out!

If he sends a rugosa to Australia, you have to send a pair of Kimberleys to the states :lol:

The shingle back in the first pic looks like it has a head on both ends of the body. Only way I could tell which one was the actual head was the single eye looking at the camera.

That female wouldn't do you much good Richard. His hemipenes would be getting in the way if your male tried to mate with him. :wink:

I hope not! It can't possibly be healthy for a male skink to give birth to baby skinks!
