Do you have Petcos in Canada?

Not that I know of, unless here they call it PetsMart. Basically the same idea.

[Spindown]

Captive bred and born is always best, but my merauke is the sweetest of them all and I highly doubt she was captive bred OR born.

I would just like to point out that the skink you saw was almost guaranteed not to be an eastern. Pet stores just label all their skinks as easterns (it's called the common blue tongue skink). Most likely it was an irian jaya, merauke, or indo (all wild commonly wild caught for the pet trade) or possibly a northern (only captive bred). Easterns basically do not exist in Canada at this time.

Oh yeah, I might of implied that! Here is a pic of the rescue. Okay, never mind, I can't figure out how to post a photo from my Iphone?

[Katrina]

Welcome, Lauren!

If you add the picture to photobucket or a similar site you can link it from an iPhone.

[Coomassie]

Hi Lauren! Welcome to the site. I heard you were talking to my husband on another site...

[Laurenk]

I was, Geckos Unlimited I believe it's called. I thought he was you! How is the Cuckoomassie anyway?

[Richard.C]

if more people kept tannies,i think they would be capable of being as friendly as any other species,if nervous,stressed or scared,any species could be labled a nut case species

i think tannies get a bad wrap over all,due to being commonly a shyer species and alot that formed that basis were recently imported wild ones,iver never kept them so may be off base a bit,i have a hard time thinking of tiliqua as aggressive,as even the feisty ones are quite handable compared to other species

Welcome fellow Canadian! As far as shaved aspen, you should never have trouble finding it. I am in the Niagara Region and every pet store (including the 3 or 4 petsmarts I've been in) within a 50km radius of my house has shaved aspen !

[Laurenk]

Hey, you oonly live 2 hours away from me, cool! And I'll check at Petsmart, eh? (hehehehe)

[xxmonitorlizardxx]

[Laurenk]

Yes, the Canadians will rule the world! MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! I mean, uh... MEEP!

Coomassie is my big lover skink. He begs to come out every morning and every night. My husband is a little jealous I think. He knows the skink is the love of my life...

[Laurenk]

Sounds adorable! Do you have any oictures on here?

[Coomassie]

I haven't posted any recent ones. I should probably do that some time soon...

[Laurenk]

That would be cool.

[Laurenk]
