Very awesome! I love getting new skinks, always fun getting to know their personality.. whether it is a huffy dude or a cuddly dude.

What locale are they? I'm thinking somewhere more southern, since I hear they have a sandy look to them.

[Scincoides]

Beautiful Easterns. We don't get to see as many pictures of these guys as we do of your Northerns.

[RoryBreaker]

Wakey wakey

[Richard.C]

Not sure if they have attempted breeding outdoors yet,havnt been super active nor have i seen them eat ,so will see what happens,might bring more in to just to get away from blotchies

Had these guys a few years now,grown up from babies ive had,these are victorian form,mornington peninsula ones


They live out with the blotchies but are very timid in with them,they are dominated by the blotchies and even the cunningham skinks,wont eat till everything else has left the bowls,so need to give them there own caging anyways

Oh Richard! I hope you don't get arrested for keeping those Ij's in OZ. I will feel terrible if you go to prison and can't post on the forum anymore.

[Richard.C]

Haha

Did the big black melanistic gigas mullet give it away?

[Dakota]

That was exactly what I was thinking. Ultra fat hypermelanistic gigas..

[Scincoides]

Jeff I think those would be considered Meraukes. I've noticed that any animal that clearly looks Merauke, gets labeled Irian, and vice versa by our resident expert on anything and everything.

[Richard.C]

They could also be those rare canadian eastern crosses

[Scincoides]

Well if you look at the scales on its face and the color of its eyes, you'll see that its clearly an axanthic halmahera (super rare new SPECIES) bred to five hypo Irian Jayas. So its a "mixed locale super rare hypo axanthic 5 different daddysunset caramel halmajaya."

[Scincoides]

I know FOR A FACT that my ID on this animal is accurate because I saw a picture of one once.

[Jeff]

Please stop. I can't take anymore.

[Scincoides]

fine

[Seadation]

Lol

Easterns and land mullets are starting to get more active

Male easterns starred to drop sperm plugs,seen a little bit of chasing but nothing serious yet,ambients seem to be holding them all back a bit this year,lots of cool weather

[Lea]

Lol! That mullet hypermelanistic gigas eastern cross is huge compared to the others! I always forget just how big they are until you see them side by side with the blueys.

Great pack of lovelies you have there, Richard. Hopefully you'll have some breeding success with them this year.
