Exclamation Stolen from Teesside area - Red eyed Crocodile Skinks

Just recieved a phonecall from a very distraught gentleman who's house was burgled last night. He has had his Juvie pair of Red Eyed Crocodile Skinks stolen. Obviously he really wants his pets back so if anyone in the are has any info please can you get in touch with me via pm so i can pass it on to him, as he does not have internet acess.

Thanks,
Kat @ North East Exotic Pets

Does he think thats what they were after, or just a random burglary. Just thinking if random, they might not have a clue how to look after them.

Dont know definately, but was under the impression that the guy has other reps, so i would assume that only the skinks were taken? maybe someone knew what they were looking for?

Either way it totally sucks!

How utterly crap! Bloody mindless idiots, this sort of stuff really annoys me. Lets keep this thread bumped so lots of people see it and keep their eyes open - watch the classifieds too.

if they've only taken the croc skinks then maybe it's someone who has visited who usually doesn't? Has he like sold or bought a rep from someone and they came to his house? Obviously they knew he kept reps and went for something specific.

We are on the look out for anyone offering us Croc skinks too....... I presume the guy rang my shop the same day as Kats'.

Most stealing of reptiles from peoples collections is down to when another (dishonest) enthusiast visits - either during the visit or a planned bulgary afterwards. Word of warning to everyone there.
