New Kei Islands BTS

Picked up 10 today from a local importer. A little rough around the edges, but I'm very happy! Maxx looked more roughed up than these when I got him, so I expect they'll look quite normal when adults. One does have a regenerating tail, though. Sorry for the crappy phone pics, but I thought I'd show them off.

Thank you, skinks101.

Nick, I think it is odd to see such short, fat tails! :lol:

Here are some individual pictures. K-5 and K-7 are my favorite.

And as a disclaimer: yes, I am aware they have bite varying bite marks. They are being dealt with accordingly.

Poor bubs haven't had it easy but its good to know they are safe now, along with there long toothpick tails.
Cute looking bubs, aswell i have always enjoyed the i dunno what you would call it greenish yellow hue they have.

Even though they are in their "ugly duckling" phase right now, I still find them quite attractive. I REALLY like K-5 and K-7, I hope they end up a pair. I think K-4 and K-9 would make a good pair with the yellow they got going on. But who knows how they'll end up developing. Excited to watch them grow.

Thank you! They are a joy to keep. One thing is for sure: I don't miss baby skink poo! :lol:

Also, I am getting a substantial amount of people asking to buy these animals. I realize I forgot to put it in the original post, but these guys are not for sale. The importer is a friend I've known since I first moved to Florida, he trusted me to fix these skinks instead of selling them, reason why he sold them to me. I might sell off a few once I know the sex ratio, but please: don't hold your breaths. Lol. I hope everyone had a good New Year, the international hangover day.
