True Fire Skink?

[Sputnik]

Awww, Lori, thanks for asking! She's doing very well, thank you. She's making a few huffing noises when I bother her, but she needs time to get used to her new home.

My son twisted my arm today and I allowed him to get a baby bearded dragon from a local reptile shop which is sadly closing down.
"Eragon" is the cutest little thing and I'm sure he'll get introduced in the not too distant future.

Oh I can't wait to see pics of Eragon!! They are SO CUTE!!!

I keep wondering if I could get a companion for my little skink... but not sure if they co-exist peacefully. Need to do more research.

you know how we all love pics here,so of course we can't wiat to see...........

No longer "Eragon" as apparently that isn't the name of the dragon in the book, oops, but still a delightful little creature, temporarily nameless...



He's six weeks old and looks actually much bigger in the photos than he really is.

[Lori P]

Well he's just cute as a button!! :-)

[Sputnik]

He is indeed. And loves to sit on our hands.


Btw., Lori, I think skinks prefer solitary. I must have read that on bluetongueskinks.net .

[Lori P]

Ahhhh... thanks for the info. I'll check that site too. Let us know what you end up naming your little guy. :-)

I think skinks prefer solitary.

Solitude even.

i have 2 fire skinks, they are very friendly and easily handled. i dont understand why so many comments are made about them being difficult. they are the sweetest and most beautiful little creatures. i have many different species of lizards and i have to say that the tokay gecko is the only truly aggresive one ive experienced yet. if you get the lizards young enough and handle them regularly with love and care, your results will be rewarding. good husbandry is the foundation for raising a loving lizard.

the lizard king.

i have a true fire skink i find him easy to take care of just keep the soil moist somewhere for him to hide and he is pretty happy mine crawls right onto my hand and eats out of my hands the more you handle them the more they get use to it but you will get bit till he does
