I think David should be banned from the forum for having too many awesome-looking skinks :grump: :lordy:

Gizmo and Jade are CUTIE pies I really like their colorations and their smart little faces... And that Merauke clan - I wanted a Merauke as my first because they get huge, but now I really want one. That salmon color is so great.

Oh and there's some Kei - is that one almost patternless or am I just not seeing the pattern? It's so greenie!

Yes, he is speckled in green, gold and black but otherwise patternless!

This male has a bit of size on him.

The brag mat is in millimetres. If I stretch him out, he's about 600mm.

Astro and Ninja are pretty much settled in. Both romp about in their enclosures without a care for me sitting near them. :D

Very pretty! He is a poser! :D
Here is my Irian Jaya (Thanks for the ID, Dakota! :D). I named him Blue (which is a VERY original name, I might add.)

How old is Blue? Doesn't look more than a few months old! I recently saw my first baby Bluey's, they are too cute when that size. Probably a good thing I don't cart my reptile permit around unless needed, haha. :lol:

Adorable Irian Jaya you have there! Lovely name too. :thumbs:

That's what they were sold as, hypermelanistic and het for hypermelanistic. :)

Astro has some gorgeous dark reddy browns down the sides. The belly shares the same colouration! Gizmo's belly is light and has a few markings here and there, while Ninja's is an orangy red.

I found some photographs of a recent visitor we had, presumably Hills District/Sydney locale. Pretty good condition, we used to have one around that looked pretty beat up. Missing toes, stump tail. Another one looked like this, maybe not as yellow also had missing toes. We have garden snails in abundance around here, so they have plenty of good tucker to hunt. We don't bait the snails, seeing as we also have an Eastern Water Skink (with babies now, so cute!), in our garden (the retaining wall above). :D

Is Skittles in shed, MELUCHJA? Gorgeous Eastern! Not sure about telling gender by appearance but Gizmo dropped sperm plugs as young as five-six months old.
