Hey, thanks alot for the complements guys, appreciate it very much.

Yeah, they are beautiful lizards, by far the best looking skink IMO. I just love those cute eyes

Not easy going to get a good set-up here in Argentina as lizards, well reptiles altogether aren't nearly as popular as back in England. For that reason it's very difficult to get any equipment or furnishings.

I had to get most of the equipment from ebay & make some of the furnishings myself, lucky & aquatic shop helped with the logs & bogwood which happened to suite really well to the style of viv.

Think the little fella seems to like it anyway

They are a good looking skink, shame no CB in UK as do not seem to breed well in captivity. Only WC available.

We used to sell these a few years ago in the rep shop I worked, about £30 each, bought em for £10 from Reptech at the time, no idea if they're still selling them, haven't seen them for a while.. but they were always WC which might be why their popularity dropped as people failed to breed them, but seemed to adapt well to capitivty and having a few in a viv is great.
