What lovely little skinks Caren, I love the pattern on them. Can you tell us more about them please? How big do they get? what you feed them? etc etc.

quite nice pics too!

well they eat little crickets , they grow to about 6" with tail , thats all i know about them sorry

Lol, I meant like behaviour really. Do they mind handling much or squirm like mad,
are they diurnal or nocturnal, do the bury themselves alot? That kinda stuff
Did you aquire them in a petshop over there or another breeder?
Are they native to uk, or?

Lol I wanna hear it all !

well they bury alot , come out day or night there not like gecko's , you can struck them though and there friendly , we brought them from a pet shop over here , they have breed one lot but we did'nt know and the eggs had been dug so when we found them they'd been damaged its funny watching them eat we drop crickets in and there heads pop out from sand there fast though

Cool thats the stuff we wanna hear! so the spend there time in waiting for prey, buried beneath the sand? Do you know their scientific names at all. I drew a blank with msn search for 'oscillated skink), i might try google.

no it was mark that liked them i just think they look like worms with legs lol
