    my armadillo lizard

    It depends what kind of armadillo lizard you have - C.cataphractus, the "true" armadillo lizard as they curl up into a ball when threatened, are very rare, and Im pretty certain that that isnt what you have (these are the kinds of beasties that are sold privately for many hundreds or even...

    Prehensile-Tailed Skinks anyone?

    Thanks Bobby :D I got some pics this evening of the little one - he was wandering around, so I took the opportunity to give him a quick check over: Techhousejunkie, they arent endangered, but they are considered to be "At Risk" due to deforestation; so basically if their habitat...

    Prehensile-Tailed Skinks anyone?

    Just thought I would share some news - we had a baby skink born here yesterday morning at about 2.30am :) I have posted more info on my site at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.freewebs.com/joslittleworld">www.freewebs.com/joslittleworld</a><!-- w --> - no pics yet alas!

    Frustrating

    My boyfriend used to want one of these sooo badly, thanks to an Amano book that features them. These fish are actually endangered I believe - this, as well as their complex care, means that they shouldnt be offered so freely in captivity :( When they mature, they also become very ugly...

    Prehensile-Tailed Skinks anyone?

    I think I saw the ad for those - yeah, they were quite a bit of money! Based on my experience I would say that pre-established groups are SOOO much easier work, purely because they can be so fussy about who they will/wont like. However, Ive got an inkling that pre-established groups may be a bit...

    Ah, so this is where you all are :)

    Thanks everyone :) Varnyard, I heartily recommend picking up a pair if you can find one - but you may end up kissing your tegu passion goodbye! ;)

    Prehensile-Tailed Skinks anyone?

    Haha, they are so addictive! Personally I love the colouring - I have never seen two that look the same, so every one is like a totally new and unique part of the collection. I have seen one recently that was blue! Very gorgeous animal. KDK I have 7 monkey tails at the moment, in three...

    Prehensile-Tailed Skinks anyone?

    Heya all :) These skinks are the reason that I have pretty much stopped posting on any of the tegu forums - although I still have "Big Teg" (who I believe will be 4 this spring) I have really focussed on collecting monkey tails with the hopes of breeding them. They are really amazing lizards...

    Armadillo Lizard - HELP

    A bit of a late reply, but "Armadillo Lizards" being advertised in shops are 99.9% of the time Cordylus tropidosternum - known by quite a few other names, such as Jungle Girdle-Tailed Lizard, and are usually very cheap. "True" armadillo lizards, or Cordylus cataphractus (the ones that actually...

    Ah, so this is where you all are :)

    Hello, Some of you may or may not recognise me, but I used to be pretty active on the other tegu forum until my monkey tailed skinks stole my life. Its nice to see everyone actively posting again! Anyways, I will be sticking up some pics in "Skinks" I think :) Jo
