Looking to buy my first BTS (Boston, MA)

Hey all, I'm new to the forum and new to acquiring blue tongues. I've kept other reptiles before (geckos, beardies), but this will be my first time keeping a skink.

What I am looking for:
-Species: Northerns, but I wouldn't say no to a responsibly bred irian jaya or merauke.
-Age: Young/Juvenile/Sub Adult, but again, negotiable. If you have a particularly good natured adult you're looking to home, I might be interested.

I've been doing a lot of searching online and found a few sellers but everything I've found that's being offered has been bred from wild parents and/or imported, which i'm kind of leery of. Advice in aiding my search is appreciated as much as offers would be. I did take a look down the list of recommended breeders and contacted a few people, but so far no luck?

Email me at killerpossum33@gmail.com. I am in Boston, so unless you're in the area, shipping will be necessary.

Northern breeding season is just getting started. Most breeders are soldout until the spring. Best part about northerns they're 100% captive bred since Australia banned exportation in the 70s. I'm located in Rhode Island. Here's the link to my page. https://m.facebook.com/ribluetonguesskinks/ . I'll be updating durning breeding season.

Thanks for the tip! I'll keep an eye on your page. I was kind of hoping to try and get something within the next few weeks, but I do realize that's probably unlikely having missed the peak for 2016 babies already and the breeding season only just getting going again.
