Well, it's been a year now and.... *Pic Heavy*

Things are going GREAT with my Northern! I am really thankful for this website as it helped me decide which reptile I wanted to pursue and the vast knowledge found helped me make better decisions ; otherwise, I may have ended up with a uromastyx of some sort :lol: .

Here are some highlights from the day I got him until now. Enjoy!

October 1st, 2013 and only 3 months old:

He/she is a beauty :) the dark contrast along his sides is very striking !

Do you have any statistics on his growth? How many grams and his length at 3 months and what he is now?
Everyone says "they grow quickly" but I cannot find out how quickly :)

My skink (Northern x IJ) was born July 16/13 and is now 19 & 1/4 " and 674 grams.

Very nice looking northern. I have 4 just over 3 months old. They grow so quick!! Yours looks almost like one of mine. The one that looks like yours I got from captive bred excellence.

Lol I think I've looked at too many skinks if I can tell by a pic who bred them.
