1) 0 - Hoping for next year
8) 1 - Thora, most likely 14 or older.

Thora (aka Thor) was fully grown when I got her on May 1, 2000. She is giant compared to Ray's Easterns with similar patterns. She is 18 inches from head to tip of tail. I don't have a weight on her (sorry). She was born at some point in the 1990s and may be 14 years old or older.
No, it's a SKINK not a SKUNK. Er, no, it's not a Blue Tongued Skank---although I do think I dated one of those at some point.

Bubba was a young adult of unknown age when I acquired him. Big and chubby. He has been with me for almost 12 years now. It will be 12 years this winter. So I would say he is at least 13 years old. And considering he was full length and already bulky when I got him, probably older than that. Is he considered old now?

All category 3 except Slurp and Sass who are a 6 or 7!

We got Slurp as an adult in 99 or 2000, so he could be 15 or even older...

Sassy we got around 01 or 02 and she looked old then -- it's possible she's 20 or more...

I love the mystique of old age and BTS. I've heard all kinds of rumors, my favorite being Shinglebacks living into their 40's.

+ 2.2 Irian Jaya (Slurpy, Nona, Sassy, Cool Moe Dee)
+ 1.1 Eastern (Eugene, Enzo)
+ 1.2 Northern (Niko, Pearl, Peach)
+ 1.0 Tanimbar Island (TQ)

I can't remember if my 2 are '03/'04 babies or '06 babies, but either way, they are only 'teenage' skinks. Gotta go find those old photos ;)
