hi everyone

new to the reptile game, but already dead set on getting a Northern Blue Tongue Skink. The problem is, i literally have no idea how to get one lol. i went into my local reptile store with high hopes.... i may aswell of asked the african bullfrog for advice the guy was that useful

I've searched and searched online but no site i find seems to sell them, only the smaller skink breeds for like £20, and i dont wanna drive a million miles to some random seller either. i live close to norwich and driving to pick up one from newcastle is a bit of a mission as well as a risk.
money is not a huge issue as such, but i dont wanna buy a huge tank and all the gear then end up with a gecko lol. I'm beginning to give up hope with the idea but if anyone has any decent sites in the uk or some good advice it would be much appreciated!!!
